Pericolele expunerii la fumul din urma incendiilor de vegetație. Riscuri, chiar și pentru oamenii sănătoși

Health experts warn that smoke from wildfires can harm respiratory health due to fine particulate matter and toxic gases. Cristian Oancea emphasizes that even healthy individuals can be affected. PM2.5 particles can penetrate deep into the lungs, causing various symptoms. Carbon monoxide, a toxic gas present in wildfire smoke, can disrupt oxygen transport in the body. Those with pre-existing respiratory or cardiovascular conditions are at higher risk. It is advised to limit outdoor activities during smoke exposure and use protective masks. Keeping windows closed and using air conditioning in recirculation mode is recommended. Immediate medical attention is necessary for severe respiratory symptoms.
