: The resurgence of haze pollution in Malaysia is a cause for public health concern and Malaysians should understand the health risks associated with it and take effective preventive measures, said a health expert.
“In Malaysia, these conditions contribute significantly to hospitalisations and deaths, accounting for nearly 20 per cent of public hospitals and over 12 per cent of private hospitals in 2020,” he said in a statement today. “Vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions like asthma and cardiovascular diseases face higher risks where repeated exposure to haze over several years can worsen pre-existing chronic lung conditions, increase the risk of lung cancer, and lead to frequent bronchitis episodes.
