What are the hazards of smog? How to prevent it?

Haze, including fog and haze, is a climatic phenomenon, and its harm to human body is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. Impact on respiratory tract: There are a lot of fine particles floating in smog, which cannot be completely degraded. If you stay in a smog environment for a long time, you will inevitably inhale fine particles, which will be deposited in the respiratory tract, causing damage to the respiratory system and inducing bronchial asthma, bronchitis and chronic bronchitis.

2, induce infectious diseases, bacteria are more likely to reproduce in foggy days, thus increasing the chance of human infection, which can cause respiratory tract infection, intestinal infection and urinary tract infection.

3. Increase the probability of cancer. It is reported in relevant literature that long-term exposure to smog environment will increase the probability of suffering from various cancers, including bronchial lung cancer.

4. The influence on the nervous system is easy to cause dizziness and headache in the smog environment. It has been reported that the tiny particles in the smog will lead to the decline of brain function.

Haze has been produced, and the severity is increasing. Then, when we can't change this situation in a short time, we must know how to prevent it. So, what are the preventive measures for smog? This is what men, women and children should do!

First of all, indoors

1, open the window less in foggy days.

When the wind is strong, open the window for ventilation, the air will at least flow, and there will be less particles left indoors. If the weather is very foggy, dare you open the window? For the sake of health, it is best not to open the window! And choose the right time to open the window, don't open the window during peak hours.

2. Install an air purifier

If possible, you can install an air purifier, which can filter out some particulate matter in the air, improve indoor air quality and reduce the harm of smog weather to children. When using the air purifier, pay attention to replacing the filter screen and filter element regularly. In addition, in foggy days, parents can also turn on the humidifier to increase the humidity in the air, so that floating particles can easily fall to the ground and be adsorbed on the ground, reducing children's inhalation.

Step 3 plant green plants

We all know that green plants can carry out photosynthesis and have a certain effect on improving the environment. Therefore, you can plant some green crown-leaf plants indoors on the balcony or near the window, such as green radish, evergreen and tiger orchid, because their leaves are larger and their adsorption capacity is stronger. Although the effect is limited in foggy days, it can still play a certain role.

Second, go out.

1, reduce going out

In foggy days, you should try to avoid traveling, because you are easily affected by smog. Also, outdoor activities tend to have more exercise than indoor activities, and it is easier to inhale harmful particles. Therefore, it is suggested that adults and children reduce outdoor activities in foggy days.

Step 2 put on a mask

You must wear a mask when you go out. When buying masks, you must also choose products produced by regular manufacturers. Masks should also be changed every day, and it is best to disinfect them with boiling water after cleaning.

Step 3 stay away from crowded places

Try to stay away from crowded places and reduce exposure to germs.

Step 4 clean up after going out

Whether you go out by yourself or take your baby out, I believe that many harmful substances will be adsorbed on the exposed skin after you come back. It is recommended that you clean the smog particles attached to the skin with warm water in time, or you can clean your baby's nasal cavity with saline spray.

Third, a reasonable diet.

1, eat more light food or fruit.

In the baby's diet, it is necessary to reasonably match all kinds of foods, let the baby eat a variety of foods, ensure the baby's balanced intake of various nutrients, and enhance the baby's own resistance. It is best to eat more light food or all kinds of fruit puree! But also pay attention to calcium supplementation and vitamin D supplementation, and you can eat more foods such as tofu and Sydney.

2. Drink plenty of water/tea

Drinking more water at ordinary times can clean the respiratory tract. If you like drinking tea, you can also soak Chinese herbal tea such as chrysanthemum tea.

3. Appropriate nutritional supplements

Due to the smog weather, the sunshine is reduced, the ultraviolet radiation of children is insufficient, and the production of vitamin D in the body is insufficient, and the absorption of calcium will be greatly reduced. Therefore, vitamin D should be supplemented appropriately, especially for developing children.

Fourth, the nursing work

1, wash your face

The face is often exposed to the air, so there are many harmful substances attached to the face in foggy weather. You can choose to wash your baby's face, and it is best to use warm water when washing your face, which can effectively clean the smog particles attached to the skin.

2, oral cleaning

As the saying goes, when you go out, you always have to open your mouth, right? When the mouth is open, there will be many bacteria attached to the mouth, so frequent gargling can remove the dirty things attached to the mouth and effectively reduce the particulate matter brought by smog from entering the human body.

Step 3 clean the nasal cavity

The main organ we breathe is the nose, so we should get into the habit of cleaning the nasal cavity every day. At the same time, when cleaning the baby, first let the baby wash his hands, hold warm water, teach the baby to gently absorb water with his nose and blow his nose quickly, and repeat this action several times, and all the dirty things in the nasal cavity will be cleaned up.
