The Bishkek Health Center discussed the negative impact of smog on health and offered recommendations for protection against it.
Smog represents a serious atmospheric pollution with toxic substances that are formed as a result of the operation of industrial facilities, transportation, and heating systems using solid fuels, especially under unfavorable weather conditions.
Main causes of smog formation:
exhaust gases from vehicles,
operation of power plants and industries,
coal burning,
smoking,
harmful vapors from various products, including chemical solvents, paints, and hair sprays.
Effects of smog on human health:
Smog can provoke respiratory diseases such as bronchitis, asthma, and pneumonia.
It also causes inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as reduces immunity.
Cardiovascular diseases can be exacerbated by smog, leading to an increase in hospitalizations and deaths from respiratory and heart ailments.
The most vulnerable are children, the elderly, and patients with cardiovascular (including hypertension, vegetative-vascular dystonia, angina) and respiratory diseases (asthma, bronchitis, emphysema).
Smog can cause shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, insomnia, headaches, and coughing.
Recommendations for protection against smog:
Reduce time spent outdoors.
Use protective masks (e.g., N95, KN95, FFP2) when going outside.
Keep windows and doors closed, avoid ventilation.
Increase fluid intake to 2-3 liters per day.
If possible, use air conditioners and air purification systems.
Regularly perform wet cleaning indoors.
Gargle and rinse your nose.
Add more vitamins and fermented dairy products to your diet.
Avoid being outside during peak hours, especially for children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
Using natural gas or electricity instead of solid fuels will help reduce harmful emissions.
Each of us can contribute to the fight against smog, for example, by walking or cycling more often, which will help reduce emissions from vehicles.
