Which one is better ?</p> <p>I think neither!!</p> <p>Taken from <a href= "http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Wednesday/National/20050810073259/Article/indexb_html"> New Straits Times:-</a></p> <blockquote>Dr Jeyaindran said people working outdoors should use protective masks, respirators or other protective equipment. He said the masks sold in most pharmacies would not prevent the haze from getting to the lungs. A mask is effective if it can filter out particles of less than 10 microns.</blockquote> <br /> <br /> So what to do?<br /> <br /> Stay at home and turn on the air con if you have. Or get some air purifiers.<br /> <br /> As for me, I don't have either. So I'm just going home to breathe in some fresh haze (sigh)
