The haze outside is PM2.5, and shutting your windows does not keep it out. Below: three purifiers people actually buy on Shopee, one per price range, sized for haze from the sellers’ own CADR figures — not lab-tested by us.
How the haze is destroying your health
- These particles are a Group 1 carcinogen — the class that holds tobacco smoke and asbestos.
- Selangor haze months: 50 asthma hospital admissions against 23 in clear months.
- Fine enough to cross from your lungs into your blood — and children take the heaviest dose.
How an air purifier protects your lungs
- Closed windows still let in 55–60% of the air outside.
- One HEPA unit in a closed room cuts that by 30–60%, and lowered raised blood pressure in a 2025 trial.
- A cloth or surgical mask does nothing here. Only a fitted N95, outdoors.

Haze sizing follows AHAM's smoke rule — a CADR matching the room's full area in sq ft, not the two-thirds used for ordinary dust — worked from the particle CADR in the seller's listing, so it runs generous. Prices are from Shopee at the time of the last update and may have changed. Monthly figures are Shopee SPayLater over 6 months, including its 1.25% processing fee and rounded up. Subject to approval; a RM10 late fee applies.
