Clean air
Polluted air is hazardous for all people. However, for people with allergies, it poses an additional risk. The toxins in the air can trigger your allergic reactions or exacerbate them. Very few people in the world are fortunate enough to live in places where there is zero pollution in the air. The impact of human activity on the planet means that pollution is all around us. It travels long distances in the air. Most of the time, it’s invisible to the naked eye. That means you’re breathing it in without even knowing it.
In some cities, the air pollution is so harmful that it becomes smoggy. Beijing and New Delhi often have huge much-publicized problems with smog. Many people become ill when the smog is bad. These are not the only cities that experience high smog levels. Cairo, Moscow, Mexico City, and Dhaka are other examples. Smog is full of dangerous toxic particles that cause many different illnesses. Allergy sufferers should minimize their contact with polluted air. While you cannot live in a plastic bubble for the rest of your life, you can take precautions. Wear a surgical mask when pollution conditions are adverse. It won’t give you 100% protection, but it will reduce your exposure.
