Keep children indoors before the air turns unhealthy, say doctors
Paediatricians in Malaysia are advising parents and schools not to wait for the Air Pollutant Index (API) to hit 101 before limiting children's outdoor activities during the current haze. They say children are more vulnerable to air pollution and precautions should be taken earlier, especially for those with underlying conditions. The haze is caused by forest fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan.
