Dear TEN NEWS Group members;
I would like to bring it to your notice that currently air quality in Delhi is falling under Hazardous catagory posing high risk to children, newborns, old age population and unhealthy population.
We can consider the following measures to ensure a better protection:
1. Avoid direct exposures outdoors for longer hours
2. Avoid morning walks as pollution levels are highest during early mornings and evening because of thermal inversion/smog formation
3. Do not get into heavy exercises in open or non treated exercise areas like gym
4. Ask your kids to not to play outdoors or limit their sports activities to indoor
5. Consume lots of jaggery for detoxification
6. Increase intake of citrus fruits
7. Use N95/N99 masks/other protections (even handkerchief does provide 25% protection) while being
outdoor walking on roads or riding a bike or being in auto
8. If possible use HEPA based air purifiers indoor with good air exchange rate
9. While in car ensure frequent air exchange as high CO accumulation may lead to strokes and cardiac arrests in heart patients
10. Please do not use any chemical based air freshners indoor like air wick/odonil etc
11. For ventilation open your windows/doors only when sun is bright; better would be in afternoon
12. If you feel suffocation than simply put a tea bag into a steamer and inhale steam it helps in relaxing the respiratory passage
13. Consult your doctor in case of emergency
PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE
