[size=12pt]People warned to stay indoors due to hazardous air particles[/size]
NSW Health is advising people to stay indoors and avoid spending time outside today due to high dust levels and hazardous air quality. These conditions are likely to continue tomorrow.
NSW Health reminds people that children, older adults and people with heart and lung conditions are most susceptible to the effects of particle pollution. These people especially should avoid outdoor activities today.
Director of Environmental Health, Wayne Smith, warns those with asthma, respiratory conditions, lung disease, and heart disease to stay indoors, keep windows closed and closely monitor their symptoms.
“Asthma sufferers need to follow their Asthma Management Plan and take their relieving medication where necessary. If symptoms get worse or persist, asthma sufferers need to seek medical advice.
“Fine particles can also irritate the lungs of healthy adults, and it is advised that everyone should significantly cut back on physical activities outside today.
“Particle levels are likely to be higher outdoors than indoors, so people sensitive to fine particles should limit the time they spend outside,” advised Dr Smith.
NSW Health recommends that children remain indoors at school as much as possible today. Windows and doors to the outside of buildings should be closed as much as possible. Vigorous physical activity should be minimised, especially outdoors, but also indoors.
People can have health alerts sent to them via SMS or email by visiting the Department of Environment and Climate Change website and subscribing to Air Quality Index daily forecasts.
It is believed that the current conditions around the State are due to dust storms and strong winds coming from the inland plains.
