Exposure to particle pollution can cause serious health problems;
aggravate lung disease, cause asthma attacks and acute bronchitis
and increase risk of respiratory infections. In people with heart
disease, short-term exposure to particle pollution has been linked
to heart attacks and arrhythmias according to the US
Environmental Protection Agency. Children and elderly people are
also more susceptible to consequences of high particulate levels.
Stay indoors if possible. Avoid prolonged or strenuous outdoor
physical activities to reduce the affect of unhealthy air. For
