🫁 KNOW YOUR AIR. PROTECT YOUR LUNGS.
As a Respiratory Therapist and educator, I have always believed that protecting our lungs begins with awareness.
With the recent haze associated with fires in Indonesia, let us make it a habit to check the Air Quality Index (AQI). It tells us when the air is becoming unhealthy and when we need to limit exposure—especially for our children, older adults, and those with heart or lung conditions.
The air may look harmless, but tiny pollutants such as PM2.5 can affect every breath we take.
Check the AQI. Know the risk. Protect your lungs. Every breath matters. 🫁💚
