Coinciding with the arrival of the spring, which is characterized by the veil winds and the repetition of the waves of dirt storms, health risks that threaten multiple groups of people, especially asthma, allergies, children and the elderly, increase, and doctors advise the need to take precautions needed to reduce the negative effects resulting from direct exposure to dust and dust in the air.
Healthy tips at dirt storms
According to the recommendations of the Center for Control and Prevention (CDC)Driver storms contain accurate molecules of dust and pollutants that can penetrate into the lungs and increase the symptoms of asthma and allergies, advising the need to stay inside homes during storms, with windows and doors closing and operating air purification devices to maintain internal air quality.
He pointed out that inhaling the air -loaded air may lead to respiratory infections and irritations in the eyes, so it is preferable to wear N95 protective masks when going out, especially for those who suffer from chest diseases or weak immunity, and it is also advised not to rub the eyes and use moisturizing drops when needed.
Exercise
It is also important to avoid exercising or external activities during the storm time, as deep breathing during the physical voltage leads to greater amounts of harmful molecules into the lungs, and these periods must be used to rest and drink sufficient amounts of water to enhance the moisture of the body and resist dehydration.
For its part, the World Health Organization stressed that skin care during dust storms is less important than the protection of the respiratory system, as it is advised to wash the face regularly after exposure to dust, and the use of moisturizing creams to protect the skin from irritation or dehydration, while avoiding the use of cosmetics containing strong chemicals.
People with chronic diseases such as asthma or allergies should permanently retain preventive medications, communicate with the specialist doctor as soon as you feel any unusual symptoms, and adherence to these health guidelines contribute greatly to reducing the damage caused by dust storms and maintaining the health of family members.
