Haze in Malaysia: Protect Your Family with Coway Storm 2 Air Purifier

Home > Blog

The haze is back in Malaysia — and it’s more than just a smoggy sky.

As Air Pollution Index (API) readings rise in areas across the country, many Malaysians are taking precautions by staying indoors. But here’s the truth: the air inside your home isn’t always safe either — especially during haze season.

However, two locations — Johan Setia (Selangor) and Nilai (Negeri Sembilan) — continue to record unhealthy readings, with API levels exceeding 100. Earlier in the week, several other hotspots such as Cheras, Seremban, Alor Gajah, and Kemaman also saw unhealthy conditions, though many have since improved. The haze, driven largely by transboundary smoke from Sumatra and Kalimantan, has been intensified by the presence of over 1,200 hotspots in Indonesia.

Local sources of pollution, including open burning and landfill fires, have also worsened air quality in specific regions. In response, Malaysian authorities are enforcing stricter open burning regulations and continuing air quality surveillance. The public is advised to take precautions, especially vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions.

Let’s talk about why, and how Coway Storm 2 can be your family’s best protection right now.

What is Haze — and Why is It Dangerous?

Haze is a form of air pollution that contains fine particles (PM2.5), harmful gases, dust, and smoke — often from open burning or forest fires in neighbouring countries.

These microscopic particles are dangerous because they can:

Enter deep into your lungs and bloodstream
Trigger asthma, coughing, and allergies
Cause long-term respiratory illness
Affect children, elderly, and pregnant women the most

Is Staying Indoors Enough?

Not really. Haze particles are tiny — and they can enter your home through:

Windows, doors, and ventilation systems
Clothing and hair when you come in from outside
Gaps in your walls and floors

Worse, once inside, these pollutants stay trapped in the air you breathe.

That’s why more Malaysians are turning to air purifiers like Coway Storm 2 to clean their indoor air — fast and effectively.
