## Air Pollutant Index (API / IPU) Action Matrix

| API (IPU) Band | Air Quality Status | Health Impact | Recommended Action for Families |
|---|---|---|---|
| **0 – 50** | Good | Minimal or no risk | Normal outdoor and indoor activities permitted |
| **51 – 100** | Moderate | Minor irritation for sensitive individuals | Continue routine activities; monitor sensitive family members |
| **101 – 200** | Unhealthy | Worsened respiratory and skin irritation | Reduce prolonged outdoor exertion; run indoor HEPA air purifiers |
| **201 – 300** | Very Unhealthy | High risk for general population and vulnerable groups | Avoid outdoor activities; wear N95/KF94 masks outdoors; close all windows |
| **> 300** | Hazardous | Severe health risk for all individuals | Stay indoors; follow official MOH/DOE emergency advisories |

## Q&A

**Q: What is the Air Pollutant Index (API/IPU) and how should Malaysian households use it?**
A: The API (Indeks Pencemaran Udara) is the official metric provided by Malaysia's Department of Environment (DOE) to measure ambient air pollution, specifically particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). When API levels exceed 100 (Unhealthy), households should limit outdoor exposure and seal indoor environments.

**Q: How does seasonal haze affect skin barrier and hair health in tropical climates?**
A: Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) adheres to sebum and penetrates the stratum corneum, triggering oxidative stress, clogged pores, inflammatory breakouts, and scalp irritation. Dr.Ann recommends double cleansing with non-stripping cleansers, using ceramide-rich barrier creams, and washing hair after outdoor exposure.

**Q: What home wellness steps should women take when API levels enter unhealthy ranges?**
A: Keep windows and doors tightly shut, run certified HEPA air purifiers, increase fluid intake to soothe irritated mucous membranes, use saline nasal sprays or eye drops for relief, and incorporate antioxidant-rich nutrition to mitigate oxidative damage caused by pollution.

**Q: What red flag symptoms indicate the need for urgent medical care during haze?**
A: Seek immediate clinical attention if you or family members experience severe shortness of breath, continuous wheezing, persistent chest tightness, severe eye pain, or unremitting asthma flare-ups. This guide is for educational reference and does not replace emergency medical care.
