According to your state-controlled newspaper, WHO says face masks are ineffective in filtering out polluted air.

The pertinent question is: why is your gabrament giving out thousands of face masks to Sinkies when smogs from Indonesia hit Zikapore?

DR CARLOS DORA, coordinator at the WHO's public health and environment department, said that some of the strategies adopted to safeguard against polluted air have limited effectiveness.

For example, daily air quality warnings - like those sometimes issued in Beijing - likely do little to help the average person, since the real threat is exposure to sub-par air over extended periods.

Staying indoors on a day when the air is particularly bad accomplishes little, Dr Dora said.

Futhermore, the WHO has seen no conclusive evidence that face masks do much to filter dirty air, he added.

Most sinkies would prefer to wear a mask just for psychological feeling of being protected.

Of course,and not all shopping mall air are born equal too,cold storage air smells better than ntuc and giant.fresher,crisper with the slight tinge of ozone,without the stench of poverty,complies with laboratory air grade standards that prevents the spread of infectious and biological standards.

Can eat, don't waste.
Don't give them out and let it collect dust in the storeroom? Write off as condemned goods? How to account the money spent on it? Next year budget how? Teehee...

Please present scientific studies to back your claims that air quality in shopping malls in Zikapore contains much fewer PM 2.5 particles than the smog outside them.
