The Department of Environment and Natural ResourcesโEnvironmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) continues to closely monitor the air quality situation in several areas in the Philippines affected by haze.
The observed haze is possibly associated with smoke and transboundary haze from ongoing fires in Kalimantan, Indonesia, which may have been transported toward the Philippines by prevailing winds.
The public is advised to:
๐ Minimize prolonged outdoor activities, particularly in areas visibly affected by haze;
๐ด๐งPersons sensitive to air pollution, including children, older persons, and individuals with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, are advised to limit outdoor exposure and take necessary precautions;
๐ท Wear a well-fitting mask, preferably an N95 or equivalent, when going outdoors in areas with noticeable haze; and
โผ๏ธ Stay updated through official advisories and air quality information from the DENR-EMB and other concerned government agencies.
