During an episode of air pollution, air quality may deteriorate and affect certain people who are more sensitive. The appropriate actions depend on the alert level and the recommendations issued by the authorities.
Check the official air quality information and current recommendations before planning your outdoor activities.
Ventilation remains important, but the timing can be adjusted based on outdoor air quality. Follow local recommendations rather than applying the same rule during every pollution episode.
Difficulty breathing, unusual discomfort, or a worsening of existing symptoms should prompt you to seek medical advice tailored to your situation.
