The warm air coming with the southerly flow brought a significant amount of Saharan dust to the region, as a result of which the concentration of aerosol particles (PM10, airborne dust) is high across the country, the National Center for Public Health and Pharmaceuticals (NNGYK) announced in his Facebook post on Monday.
According to their information
larger particles of natural origin in the air also enter the respiratory system and can cause respiratory irritation or coughing even in the healthy population. Eye irritation is also a common symptom.
The NNGYK recommends that those at particular risk – children, pregnant women, people with chronic diseases and the elderly – go outdoors only when absolutely necessary and avoid outdoor work, intensive sports and other physical activities. Exposure can be reduced by wearing a protective mask, they wrote.
Based on the meteorological forecast, a precipitation zone will arrive in Transdanubia in the late afternoon, thanks to which an improvement in air quality is expected
they informed.
