How heavy is the smog?

The minimum visibility is 900 meters, and the meteorological department urgently sends 1.9 million warning messages.

"The throat is dry and astringent, so uncomfortable!" Yesterday, many people who went out complained about "poor breathing".

The reporter learned that due to the most serious smog attack this year, the Guangzhou Meteorological Department sent a smog warning message to 6.5438+0.9 million Guangzhou mobile phone short message users early in the morning. The visibility recorded by the road meteorological department in Guangzhou city is only 3-4 kilometers, of which Panyu's short-term minimum visibility is only about 900 meters.

Among them, the pollution index of nitrogen dioxide and inhalable particles in Jixiang Road in Yuexiu District reached 155, which is the most polluted area in the city.

In smoggy days, the number of asthma patients who are prone to respiratory diseases has increased by 20%

Smoggy days, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma need to be vigilant! Yesterday, the reporter learned from major hospitals that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma are vulnerable to the weather recently, and the number of such patients in individual hospitals has increased by about 20%.

"Recently, the number of patients with respiratory diseases has increased by 20%, among which patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are the most common. Especially among hospitalized patients, elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are frequently admitted to hospital for treatment. " Director Zhang Nuofu of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of the First Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University said. Wei Min, deputy chief physician of respiratory medicine in the Sixth Hospital of Zhongshan, also said that the number of outpatients with respiratory diseases has more than doubled than usual, with an average of more than 40 people per day.

According to the preliminary data of the epidemiological sampling survey of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Guangzhou initiated by Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases this year, the prevalence rate of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in people over 44 years old in Guangzhou is 9%.

Workers with uncomfortable noses and breathing carry out unprotected construction.

Yesterday, the reporter visited several construction sites near Ding Gang, Tianhe Road, and found that the smog weather did not affect the construction. Although the workers generally reported that their noses were particularly uncomfortable these days, they never thought about taking any protective measures.

At the taikoo hui construction site near the Tianhe River, the workers said that the smog in the past few days had no impact on the construction, and there were no protective measures against the smog. Everything was carried out in accordance with the usual construction safety regulations. Workers in Poly Chen Zhong Square, not far from taikoo hui, said the same thing.

Compared with closed construction sites, construction workers working in the open air are much more endangered by smoke and dust. The reporter saw in front of the outpatient department of Zhongshan Third Hospital on Tianhe Road and near the middle school affiliated to Xihua Normal University on Zhongshan Avenue that the construction workers who were laying sidewalks had no protection. They were busy leveling sand and gravel paving bricks when a gust of wind blew and smoke suddenly rose on the road. Passers-by quickly covered their noses and mouths. When asked if the smog in these days has affected the construction, several construction workers said no, "It's just that it's gray these days, and my nose is uncomfortable and my breathing is uncomfortable." As for the protective measures against smog, the construction workers shook their heads. "It seems that I have never thought about wearing a mask, which is too inconvenient."
