00:00It's not just the firefighters who are being watched by the health department,

00:03but also the food and the people who are suffering from the pollution from the fireworks.

00:09The precautions that can be done, we know from the fireworks of Bernadette Reyes.

00:17After the beautiful fireworks display and other lights and fireworks of the new year,

00:23a thick smoke is covering the surroundings.

00:27According to the report of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and Environmental Management Bureau on January 1, 2022,

00:34the air pollution levels in Marikina and Manila have exceeded the safe standards.

00:38The smoke from the fireworks is one of the reasons why Tertan has been suffering for almost a year.

00:45When will it be a new year?

00:47At first, I thought I had a mild sore throat.

00:51Then, it became a cough.

00:54Then, it became hard for me to breathe.

00:57I was about to pass out.

00:59That's why she is preparing to celebrate the new year.

01:03I will just close the windows.

01:05Then, I will stock these N95 masks.

01:09According to the Department of Health,

01:11they have already recorded 46 cases of bronchial asthma and acute exacerbation in sentinel hospitals nationwide.

01:19These are the healthcare facilities that can be seen in places where the population has a higher risk.

01:25As of now, the number is still low,

01:27but the DOH is preparing for more cases as the new year approaches.

01:32We have people who are hyper-reactive to airways.

01:37They may not even have a cough.

01:39They are not diagnosed.

01:41But they easily get irritated.

01:43It's easy to cough.

01:45According to the DOH, masks like these N95 masks are now available.

01:49You can also use medical masks like this.

01:52Just double it.

01:53If it's not in your budget, you can also look for a clean cloth like this.

01:58Just wet it a little so that the smoke won't easily enter.

02:01If you are a family with a child or an elderly person,

02:05whatever room your patient is in,

02:08let's not open it.
