Exercising in PM2.5

[JaneF]

I recommend see Dr CH Teo. He will answer you by asking "what do you think"?

 

I think he needs to be replaced by someone who actually knows the answer.

buy 3M full face respirator, PSI 1000 also can go jogging

Last week i saw one guy wearing one mask while he jogs?!

PM2.5 40 and below than can do extended outdoor exercise. Otherwise, haze too high = the more u exercise, the more unhealthy u become.

 

exactly..what NEA publishes on its website are outdated PM10 measurement..look out AQICN for the AQI and u can see the actual is more than 100..any number above 40 is still unsafe..I'm still cycling indoors..in air-conditioning

No wonder last weekend noticed there is a huge drop of people going to nature reserve walk?! Usually the place would be crowded with people. Seems like people still quite cautious on exercising outdoor.

Were you guys exercising jun-sep 2012?

If you check the historical pm2.5 psi data.

You'll notice the level last year is no different than what we see today.

Me kiasi, plan to jog last sunday but PM2.5 ~80 so give it a skip. Run in Gym instead.

Even today pm2.5 still around ~40-50. wonder wait until when it will go down?

Been jogging outdoors for the past 3 mornings. Dun really feel any harmful effect but will only jog between 7 to 8am before the traffic builds up. Thinking of getting this mask as extra protection. http://www.respro.com/products/sports-leis.../sportsta_mask/

Many races are being postpone till a much later date.

Guess it's a indirect sign telling runners that its still not safe running outdoors.

Yeah, that and the possibility the haze may still return when the winds change.
