İbrahim EMÜL/OSMANİYE, (DHA)- Specialist Dr. working at OSMANİYE Provincial Health Directorate Community Health Center. Yağmur Kılıç Yang made suggestions to citizens about the health effects of desert storms. Dr. Fire, “When there is desert dust in the air; “It is useful to stay indoors, if possible to go out, to cover the mouth and nose with a particle trap mask or a normal mask or a wet cloth, not to exercise outdoors, and not to turn on the ventilation while driving,” he said.
Specialist Dr. working at the Provincial Health Directorate Community Health Center stated that Osmaniye was also affected by the natural phenomenon called dust transport originating from North Africa between 25-26 April. Yağmur Kılıç Fire made warnings. Expert Dr. states that desert dust can travel with storms and cause intercontinental effects. Yağmur Kılıç Yang stated that these particle substances, which should not be in the air, damage the cardiovascular, respiratory and reproductive systems, as well as the immune system. Pointing out that especially sensitive groups with lung and asthma disorders, and citizens with spring allergies and respiratory diseases, should be more careful in such weather events, Dr. Yang said, “Our patients with this feature may face respiratory distress when they breathe dusty air. First of all, we recommend that our citizens in this group do not go out for these two days unless it is necessary and that they do not skip their medications. “Even if you do not have a chronic disease, headache, cough and postnasal drip may occur these days,” he said.
IT ALSO AFFECTS EYE HEALTH
Expert Dr. points out that desert dust affects eye health as much as it affects the respiratory system. Yağmur Kılıç Yanna concluded his words as follows: “It may cause burrs, redness, watering and itching in the eyes. These symptoms may be more common especially in those with allergic conjunctivitis (conjunctivitis). For this reason, we should also pay attention to eye cleaning. We should clean our children’s noses regularly, make sure they are not exposed to long periods of time outside.” When our children spend time at home, we should definitely take a bath. We should drink plenty of fluids and be careful to wash our hands and faces more. When there is desert dust in the air, we should stay indoors and cover our mouth and nose with a particle trap mask (FFP2, FFP3) or a normal mask or wet cloth if possible. “It is useful to turn it off, not to exercise outdoors, and not to turn on the ventilation while driving.” (DHA)
