Air Purifier and Mask for haze season

Hello Everyone ,
I just want to do some sharing as right now it is haze season.
1.N95 masks

Do not use normal surgical mask , that won't do. Surgical masks are not designed for use as particulate respirators and do not provide as much respiratory protection as an N95 respirator. For haze , we need to use N95 masks instead of surgical mask.

Where to get :

Hardware shop, Pharmacy

Lazada : N95 mask lazada link RM55 (20 Pieces) more like RM2.50 per pieces
2.Air Purifier

Air conditioners can help in keeping your home cool, but an air purifier can filter out all the air pollutants and keep the indoor air clean to breathe in. Air purifier can also trap pollutants larger than 0.3 micron, such as dust mites, mould spores, pollen, pet dander and tobacco smoke. It is advisable to have at least one unit of air purifier in your house to clean all the contaminated air due to haze.

Famous brand for Air purifier are Coway , Amway and Cuckoo , However they are quite expensive and you need to pay monthly between MYR70 - MYR 200 for 3 -5 years commitment . There are also some other alternative from branded electrical appliance company such as sharp , Philip etc.

While looking for an purifier on haze season , it is advisable to get one with HEPA filter especially with 3 in 1 features (pre filter , carbon filter and HEPA filter) that most air purifier products offer.

I will list some of them below which as per my research online for low air purifier budget with HEPA filter from Lazada :

Augienb Air Purifier link (Cheapest you can get ) Around RM 200 after collecting coupon

Midea MAP-20BD Air Purifier link RM322.00 (Bought this one , as it is local , arrived the next day

Sharp FPJ30LA Plasmacluster Air Purifier link RM339.00 (Hot in Lazada atm )

SHARP JAPAN FPF40LW PLASMACLUSTER AIR PURIFIER link RM599.00 (Bigger coverage with indicator )

Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier RM699 (Can link into your smartphone )
BTW, I am not a seller , i am just a typical consumer sharing my knowledge from my research while looking for N95 masks and air purifier online. But , if you do purchase it online through my link i will get some coffee money due to affiliate marketing that i joined
Do stay indoor and drink more water.

Hope this help and stay healthy !

I am aware of it. Ack'd that Atmosphere Sky is among the best for air purifier. But, i think most people like me will look for cheaper alternative. Instead of rm200 per month * = rm4800 , why not get one with below rm 800 so you can survive haze that probably happen once or twice a year. Of course if you are going to use it the whole year it does sound like a good deal.
