Something We Have ABSOLUTELY No Control Over...

I was at a hawker centre in Hougang last week queueing up to buy noodles when suddenly, most of the customers queueing at all the stalls there start sneezing non-stop. It was actually due to the pungent smell diffusing from one of the stalls, apparently from the frying the chilli powder. But, surprisingly, there were a couple of them who were not affected by such pungent smell at all. I am not sure if they have lost their sense of smell?!

There is something interesting that can be learned from this incident. Air is something all of us need every second and every minute and yet we have absolutely no control over the quality of the air that we breathe into our lungs. It is unlike food or water. Should the food or water be contaminated or polluted, we can choose not to eat or drink. But, not for air. As such, the quality of air that we breathe in is very important. There are devices and products in the market that could help clean up the air indoor. Some of these products while performing their intended functions do bring with them some side effects. Hence, we need to be careful in our selection of the product or device. I have done some research in those areas. Should you need any free advice, please email me at jonaooi@pacific.net.sg
