On days when pollution levels are low, you don’t need to be worried about going outside. Children shouldn’t be stopped from going to school or taking part in games. But even on these days, it’s a good idea to avoid spending long periods of time in places where pollution levels build up, such as busy roads – particularly if you have a lung condition.

As air pollution levels rise, people with lung conditions are at an increased risk of becoming ill and needing treatment. When levels are high, the government will issue an air pollution alert. If you or your child has a long-term lung condition, it’s sensible to take extra precautions on these high pollution days:

• Reduce or avoid strenuous, outdoor exercise. If you have a lung condition, exercise has many benefits, so if possible, keep doing your exercise indoors in a well-ventilated room or gym.
• Stay away from pollution hotspots such as main roads and busy road junctions.
• Try to get to work a little earlier before rush hour has begun and levels of pollution have built up.
• If you cycle, run or walk as part of your commute, use back streets away from the bulk of vehicle congestion.
• Make sure you carry your reliever inhaler with you if you use one.
• If you have asthma, use your preventer inhaler regularly.

If you find your condition is getting worse, or if you’re getting wheezy or coughing from walking outside, get in touch with your doctor. If you’re out and about, you could also call into any chemist, where a pharmacist can also give you advice.

Anyone who experiences discomfort such as sore eyes, a cough or a sore throat should consider reducing their levels of physical activity outdoors.
