remember, respiratory diseases happen as soon as they blow
dialogue: Cui Liping, deputy chief physician of respiratory and critical care medicine department, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University
cause in dusty weather, the concentration of total suspended particles and inhalable particles in the atmosphere increases, and these dust particles will enter the human airway with human breathing, 1n particular, particles with a diameter of 0.5-5 microns can enter the bronchi and bronchioles, and finally settle in the alveoli, which has a strong stimulating effect on the lung tissue, causing shortness of breath, chest tightness, cough and other discomfort reactions, causing acute and chronic respiratory diseases
countermeasures “in case of dust weather, people who have to work outdoors should wear masks as much as possible to avoid exposure to polluted air.” Cui Liping reminded the public that the impact of dust weather on normal people is formed bit by bit. At first, people may not feel any discomfort, but pathological changes occur in human organs unconsciously. 1f they are in a polluted air environment for a long time and do not take any protective measures, respiratory diseases may be induced for many years. Therefore, when encountering dust weather, try not to go out. 1f you have to go out, you must not open your mouth and take a deep breath. Try to wear a professional dust mask
protect well, sensitive skin is the most injured
dialogue with Zhu Xiangdong, deputy chief physician of Dermatology Department of Ningxia Academy of traditional Chinese medicine
the reason is that the weather in spring is relatively dry, and the moisture on the surface of skin is easily taken away by wind dust, which leads to rough skin and coarse pores. When encountering dust weather, the tiny dust and floating objects in the air carry some germs and viruses, and the pores will be blocked after skin contact. 1f not removed for a long time, will have acne, allergic skin will appear red blood, pigmentation
countermeasures: hydrating, moisturizing and cleaning are the first tasks to protect skin in dusty weather. After going home, wash your face and take a bath with warm water to keep your skin clean and hygienic. Zhu Xiangdong reminds everyone that people with allergic skin should try to avoid going out in dusty weather. Before going out, remember to apply some moisturizer, and then wear masks, glasses, hats, and gauze scarves, and go out after “fully armed”. 1f you have allergic symptoms on your skin and nose after you go home, you can take antiallergic drugs such as loratadine

Although the dust weather in northern China has decreased significantly in recent years, prevention and health care can be well prepared research shows that the climate conditions of drought, less rain and large temperature change in northern China from late April to late May every year can easily induce sandstorm and strong sandstorm. 1t is easy to form a deep thermal convective boundary layer with a height of 3000 to 4000 meters. At this time, once there is strong cold air passing through, it is very easy to have the dynamic and thermal conditions to induce extra strong sandstorm historical data show that severe sandstorms in northern China are concentrated from late April to mid May. 1n recent years, the frequency of sandstorm weather in northern China has decreased significantly, but this period is undoubtedly the most vulnerable to the occurrence of extra strong sandstorm, which is also the high incidence period of sandstorm this article is a reprint of 1nternet media, which only represents the author’s point of view and has nothing to do with this website. 1f the information column articles and comments violate your legal rights, please call to let us know and we will deal with them in time
