(The Honolulu Advertiser)  With most of the islands continuing to deal with heavy vog, here are some safety tips recently released by the Department of Health's Clean Air Branch to help make breathing easier, particularly for those with breathing problems already.

Stay indoors and use an air conditioner, if available.

Do not smoke and avoid second-hand smoke.

Limit physical exertion.

Drink plenty of fluids to loosen mucus

. Warm beverages seem to work best.

If you take medications, make sure you have an adequate supply and keep them readily available in a convenient place.

Contact your physician as soon as any respiratory problem develops.

While these recommendations are intended primarily for persons having respiratory or chronic lung disease, they are also useful for healthy persons during vog episodes.

To obtain additional information on respiratory health, contact your personal physician or the American Lung Association of Hawai`i at (808) 537-5966.
