“Shifting winds bring haze”:
Said Associate Professor Mathias Roth from the department of geography at the National University
- of Singapore (NUS): “The south-west winds that bring the smoke can vary from day to day, but generally, we have to be ready for haze in the coming months.”
- However, doctors warned that people with respiratory conditions could find their symptoms worsening because of the haze. Asthmatics could be hit especially hard because of the H1N1 epidemic.
“IN SINGAPORE. Two more H1N1-related deaths; doctors expect more asthma attack” :
- Polyclinic attendances for upper respiratory tract infections have shot past epidemic levels, mainly because more people are seeking treatment as soon as they feel ill.
- Attendances have risen from 18,705 three weeks ago to 22,800 the week after, and 24,477 last week.
- Should the haze persist or worsen, this number will rise even further, said Dr Derek Tse, Assistant Director of Clinical Services at SingHealth Polyclinics.
- “Under these hazy conditions, patients with chronic heart and lung conditions are more susceptible to irritation like sneezing and coughing.” He said.
- Dr Hui Kok Pheng, a respiratory specialist in private practice, said the haze could bring on an asthma attack or worsen an asthmatic condition, especially if it is not well-controlled in the first place.
- Dr Ong Kian Chung, another respiratory specialist in pirate practice said the flu combined with the haze could hit asthmatics especially hard.
- If symptoms such as worsening cough, wheezing and breathlessness occur, they should see the doctor, he said.
