Alarming fine dust values in Wittenberg: How to protect yourself now!

Wittenberg/Dessauer Strasse, 06886 Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Deutschland - in Lutherstadt Wittenberg is the alarm level red on Sunday! The fine dust values exceed the permissible limit and controls with 27 µg/m³ to dangerous areas. At the Wittenberg/Dessauer Straße measuring station, a dramatic deterioration in air quality was determined, which is now classified as "bad". The Federal Environment Agency has already warned: Risk groups in particular should do without outdoor activities today!

This increase in fine dust in the air should not be underestimated! Fine dust particles, less than 2.5 micrometers, can penetrate deeply into the airways and cause considerable health problems. Allergy sufferers, asthmatics and people with cardiovascular diseases must be particularly careful. In order to protect the lungs, the experts advise a retreat to the air -conditioned home, while plants such as ivy and arche can help improve air quality. If worsened, FFP2 masks could be necessary to keep the harmful particles away. Find out more about this critical situation on www.news.de .
