Are you starting to feel dizzy? Having respiratory problems? Is your throat itchy and your breathing worse than usual? Are you having asthma attack? Time to consult your doctor?
It was last night when my husband told me that the smell or odor from the wildfire smoke can be felt now here at the island. Well, air travels and circulate within British Columbia. The smog is so severe that the air is so cloudy and dusty. It feels like Desert Storm.
Are we to use and wear smog mask? How severe is this air pollutant to our health?
You know what? If the smog stays for a week without intervention such as rainfall, storm or wind to carry the smog out from the BC region then we are all in big trouble.
Would you believe that air travel is banned today and the next day depends on visibility problem. Smog is worst than fog. Smog is polluted air that can affect humans in more than ways than you could ever imagine. Smog carry minute toxic particles when inhaled can cause damage to your lungs and other parts of your bodies.
Please wear masks if you want to get out from your home. Carry a wet face towel and breathe through it once in a while (if you are in the severe extreme environment where smog is thicker like a pea soup). Keep yourself out from the danger of this toxic smog if necessary. Wear sunglasses because if the smog is toxic then your eyes and vision could be affected too. For overall protection and safety, stay inside your home and closed your windows so that smog can't penetrate.
Listen to your radio and or watch TV News for further details.
