Should people at risk be advised to reduce their physical activity levels during air pollution episodes?
Yes, people at risk should be advised to reduce their physical activity during air pollution episodes. Susceptible populations should go outdoors for exercise and work at the best time and location where air pollution is under control, even slightly. Moreover, such people should reduce vigorous and strenuous exercises and work in episodes of air pollution. People with pre-existing cardiovascular and respiratory conditions must consult their doctor at the earliest.
