Description
The air quality is expected to decrease to moderate due to particulate matters 2.5 and 10, associated with the twenty-second surge in Saharan Dust for the Country for 2024. The threat of health problems is to get elevated, for mainly unusually sensitive people, such as asthmatics, and could potentially cause limited health impacts. The health risk is low; however, be aware of the potential poor air quality, take necessary precautions and keep across the latest forecasts. The air quality could decrease to unhealthy for sensitive groups, which is one category below moderate.
Instructions
Active children and adults, and people with respiratory diseases, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
