It’s back by unpopular demand: the haze. With haze season upon us, we’re unwillingly subjected to a) unhealthy air quality, b) allergic reactions, and c) finding suitable anti-pollution options to protect us from this hazy smog and its bacteria.
And while we usually rush off to buy our trusty N95 masks, we rounded up a few more alternatives and even some for homeowners to improve the indoor air quality!
Airinum Face Masks, USD$99
Air masks are non-negotiable in this hazy state. With long- and short-term respiratory issues as well as irritation to the throat and skin in sight, wearing a face mask can help shield you from the urban challenges of air pollution. We say opt for the Urban Air Mask by Airinum. Made in collaboration with Nemen, they created a high-performance mask that promises to filter out the tiny dirt particles. It also has a memory nose-foam for comfortable wear!

LG PuriCare, $1099
Did you know that the haze can even affect the air quality in your home? LG’s latest PuriCareTM Air Purifier (AS60GDWV0) aims to be the solution, or in this case, the cure to eliminate those invisible air pollutants lurking indoors with its 360-degree purification. We love a hard-worker. What’s cool about this air purifier is that it can even connect to an app, which allows you to check the air quality in your home and change the air purification mode to adapt to the haze accordingly!

Dyson Pure Cool series, from $499
What sets Dyson’s air purifiers apart from those already in the market? Utilising a sealed filtration system and air multiplier technology, you can expect to remove up to 99.95% of airborne pollutants plus a constant flow of purified air from their Dyson Pure Cool™ purifying fan. Other handy perks include their app for easy regulation of the air quality plus allowing users to even schedule and personalise their machine.
