The haze situation in Singapore has been making headlines again, with recent 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) readings hovering in the Moderate range (typically 40–60 across regions, with some areas like the East reaching up to around 53–60 based on NEA updates as of 23 February 2026). While not yet hitting the "Unhealthy" threshold (PSI 101+), the fine PM2.5 particles from regional hotspots can still cause eye, nose, throat irritation, and breathing issues—especially for children, the elderly, pregnant individuals, or those with asthma/respiratory conditions.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) and Ministry of Health (MOH) advise limiting prolonged outdoor activities during moderate haze, staying indoors with closed windows/air purifiers, and wearing proper masks when outside to filter those tiny PM2.5 particles.
Regular surgical or cloth masks often aren't enough—FFP2 or N95 level respirators provide much better protection (≥94–95% filtration against fine particulates). Here are three reliable options worth considering for haze season:
Safetyware 4802 FFP2 Mask
- ≥94% filtration against PM2.5 & haze particles (SIRIM-DOSH certified, oil/non-oil)
- Fold-flat design – easy to carry, adjustable nose clip & comfortable textile head strap
- Good seal & glasses-friendly; ideal for daily haze use
Safetyware 8200 FFP2 Mask
- ≥94% filtration for haze & dust (SIRIM & CE certified, cup shape)
- Soft PP inner layer + adjustable head strap for all-day comfort
- Exhalation valve option available; great for longer outdoor exposure
3M 8210 N95 Mask
- NIOSH N95 – ≥95% filtration of non-oil particles like haze PM2.5
- Electrostatic media for easier breathing + adjustable nose clip & nose foam
- Secure dual head straps; trusted choice for moderate to high haze
Quick Tips for Best Protection
- Ensure a tight facial seal (no gaps around edges).
- Replace masks when damp, dirty, or hard to breathe through.
- Combine with hand hygiene and avoid touching your face.
