In response to these growing health concerns, AXA Insurance Thailand is encouraging the public to take proactive steps to safeguard their respiratory health, alongside ensuring adequate financial protection through accessible health coverage solutions.
During episodes of high air pollution, individuals are advised to:
- Monitor daily air quality index (AQI) levels and limit outdoor activities when pollution is high
- Wear properly fitted N95 or equivalent masks when outdoors
- Keep windows closed and use air purifiers indoors where possible
- Maintain good hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection
- Strengthen immunity through balanced nutrition, adequate hydration, regular sleep, and exercise in safe indoor environments
- Seek medical consultation promptly if experiencing persistent coughing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or unusual fatigue
While environmental conditions may be challenging, increasing awareness and adopting preventive measures can significantly reduce health risks.
