The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has activated the yellow warning for haze in Fuerteventura, in an episode of suspended dust that will remain until 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 31. Since this Monday, the island has been affected by the presence of particles in the air that reduce visibility to about 3,000 meters, mainly affecting coastal areas, midlands and peaks. This phenomenon coincides with a haze pre-alert issued by the Government of the Canary Islands, in anticipation of an alteration in air quality during the coming days. Health recommendations in the face of haze The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, through the General Directorate of Public Health, has recommended taking extreme precautions to minimize the effects of this episode, especially among the most vulnerable groups. Among the main recommendations are avoiding prolonged exposure to the outdoors, reducing physical activity outdoors, keeping windows closed and prioritizing staying indoors. Likewise, it is advisable to clean surfaces with damp cloths, stay well hydrated and continue with the usual medication if you suffer from respiratory or heart diseases. Health authorities warn that haze can cause symptoms such as throat and eye irritation, cough or breathing difficulties, and can aggravate previous pathologies such as asthma or cardiovascular diseases. Risk groups and monitoring The people most vulnerable to these episodes are minors, the elderly, patients with chronic diseases, pregnant women, smokers and workers exposed to the outdoors. In addition, it is remembered that this type of phenomenon can cause an increase in health consultations, even days after their end. Public Health recommends paying attention to the official information on the evolution of air quality and, in the event of worsening symptoms, contact 112. The Government of the Canary Islands also makes the air quality index (AQI) available to citizens, which allows the state of the air in each area of the archipelago to be consulted in real time.
