Will there be outdoor activities in kindergartens because of heavy pollution?

"The air quality is seriously polluted. Children, the elderly and people with heart and respiratory diseases should stay indoors and stop outdoor sports. The general population should reduce outdoor sports. " After several days of smog, Ms. Wang, a citizen of Changchun, developed the habit of watching the weather early in the morning.

On the morning of October 22nd, 65438/kloc-0, when she saw "children should stay indoors", a question popped up in her mind: I wonder if outdoor activities in kindergarten will be normal today?

Parents: The baby is doing outdoor activities in heavily polluted weather.

"Baby, have a good performance. Mom will pick you up after school! " At 7: 30 yesterday morning, at the entrance of Fuwa Beibei Kindergarten in Changchun City, Ms. Wang and her daughter did not leave as usual after saying goodbye, but waited at the door for a while.

"I don't trust, I'm worried that children will be taken to the playground to do sports. This weather is too bad for your health. Children had pneumonia when they were young, and it is easy to get respiratory diseases if the air is not good. I pay special attention to her in such a foggy day. " Ms. Wang said.

Not long after waiting at the kindergarten gate, Ms. Wang saw the babies wearing thick coats in a circle and playing games with the teacher on the playground.

Chasing, running and jumping, the children were panting. This can make Ms. Wang outside the door anxious. "Does the teacher not watch the weather forecast?" How can I take my children to outdoor sports in such heavily polluted weather? "

Ms. Wang is not the only anxious parent. Several other parents waiting at the door also raised questions.

Mr. Li doesn't understand the practice of kindergarten either. "I have told the kindergarten before that the weather is seriously polluted, so don't let the children do activities outdoors. It is good to exercise in the activity room in the building. I did, but it was useless. Later, I simply told the teacher to leave the children in the classroom when exercising outdoors. " The reason why Mr. Li is so persistent is that his children have asthma, and they are most likely to get sick in this climate.

Director: Look at the weather. You may not have received any special requirements.

Many parents think that children should not be allowed to do outdoor sports in this weather. Yesterday morning, several parents showed their attitude to the kindergarten.

The director's reply to the parents is: "Today the weather is fine, and you can still see the blue sky. Nothing. "

Subsequently, some parents reported the problem to the Education Bureau of Green Park District.

At about 9: 50, the children who were active on the playground were taken back to the classroom.

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter contacted Yang Lili, the director of the kindergarten. She said that as long as the weather is good, according to the clear regulations of the education department, kindergartens should ensure that each child has 1-2 hours of outdoor activities. But they certainly won't take their children out in bad weather such as cold weather and excessive PM2.5 value.

On the issue that children are not allowed to engage in outdoor activities in foggy days, Director Yang Lili said that this is only the opinion of a few parents. "If we have seen the weather forecast and think that the weather is ok, it will not affect the health of children, and there is no special requirement from the superiors, kindergartens still have to adhere to outdoor activities. After all, the density of PM2.5 is different in the morning, middle and evening. Now it's cold, the children's outdoor activities are not as long as before, and they can't stay in kindergarten for a day. "

Finally, Yang Lili also talked about whether doing outdoor sports in foggy days has an impact on children's health, and to what extent we should avoid strenuous outdoor sports. She hopes that the relevant departments can have a clear statement so that kindergartens can have evidence to follow when taking their children to activities.

Education department: outdoor sports to see the weather

The new regulations are expected to be introduced.

Yesterday morning, Yang Jun, director of the Basic Education Department of Jilin Provincial Education Department, also watched the weather forecast. The data shows that the smog index is severe smog. "The meteorological department always forecasts the smog index, and the health department gives corresponding regulations according to the data. Although the education department is unprofessional in this respect, from the perspective of children's health, children should not and should not go outdoors to exercise in this severe smog weather. This requirement is definitely reasonable. " Yang Jun said that in this weather, exercise fills the lungs with smog and completely loses the meaning of exercise.

In addition, Yang Jun also said that no matter kindergarten, primary school or middle school, there are no relevant documents and policies to require children to do outdoor sports in foggy days, but any measures should be introduced at any time according to the actual situation. "For the questions raised by parents, we will immediately communicate with the meteorological and health departments. From the perspective of maintaining children's health, if necessary, the three departments will jointly issue a document to ensure children's healthy and safe outdoor sports. "

Reporter's investigation: many primary and secondary schools in Changchun canceled class exercises.

Yesterday, the reporter interviewed a number of primary and secondary schools in Changchun, all of which said that they had "received a notice from their superiors to cancel the recess exercise".

"Because of the weather, our school canceled the recess exercise on the 22nd." Yesterday, the relevant teacher of the Experimental Primary School in Changchun Automobile Development Zone introduced that students can choose to go to the indoor gymnasium of the school without recess exercise.

It is reported that on the 22nd, the 17th Middle School, the 5th Middle School, the 72nd Middle School, the 5th Primary School and other primary and secondary schools in Changchun also cancelled the inter-class exercises, and some schools popularized smog-related knowledge to students through indoor broadcasting during the inter-class exercises.

Doctor: Reduce outdoor activities and pay attention to indoor humidification.

Department of Internal Medicine, Changchun Children's Hospital: In the past month, the number of small patients with cough and cold has increased by nearly 30% compared with the previous period. Liu Jing, director of the department, said that in the foggy weather, inhaling dust suspended in the air will cause great irritation to the human respiratory tract, and the first reaction is coughing. Because dust contains bacteria and viruses, it can also cause human respiratory tract infections and other diseases.

Department of Respiratory Medicine, First Hospital of Jida University: In the past two weeks, the number of outpatients per day can reach more than 200. Among them, there are many people with respiratory tract infection, and the main symptoms are cough and sore throat. In addition, there are 3 respiratory clinics in the pediatrics department of the First Hospital of Jida University, and each clinic receives an average of 60 children every day. Most small patients also have symptoms of severe cough and high fever.

Changchun Central Hospital: In addition to the elderly and children who are prone to respiratory diseases, the number of young and middle-aged people who come to see a doctor has also increased.

"In this weather, doing outdoor sports and increasing the breathing frequency will inhale a lot of harmful substances into the body, causing physical discomfort. Adults are like this, not to mention children. " Liu Jing suggested that kindergartens, schools and other educational institutions should reduce children's outdoor activities in severe smog weather. Stay indoors for a long time and pay attention to the cleanliness of the environment. Once someone in the crowd has symptoms such as cough and cold, attention should be paid to isolation to avoid cross-infection.

"Drink plenty of water every day, wear a mask when you go out, use your nose more when you breathe, and open your mouth less. There will be dust particles on the coat, so don't take them back to the bedroom. If you can, you should develop the habit of cleaning your nostrils. " Liu Jing said.

Ding Chunsheng, general consultant of Changchun Health Education Center, also suggested: "The room must be humidified to reduce the inhalation of particulate matter."
