“It’s unbearable, but it’s dissipating. If the game was yesterday, you wouldn’t be able to play.” The report on the smoke that covers the atmosphere of the Rosary was the last one received on Wednesday since Professional Football League (LPF)who at the end of the day certainly took the match between Central and Estudiantes on 19.
Tuesday was “unbreathable”, just like Wednesday morning. The change in wind allowed for the best and, report after report, it was possible to avoid suspending the meeting. The problem is not just visibility, but how stale air can affect the respiratory system and mucous membranes.
The day after the new appearance of smoking in Rosario, the Secretary of Public Health of Rosario, Leonardo Caruanarecommended do not exercise outdoors because “by increasing the respiratory capacity we place a much greater demand on our respiratory system, it ceases to be healthy”. So can you play?
The recommendation is do not do it, but none of the clubs involved have asked for a postponement. The Lega del Rosario did not consider the suspension of its activities and, without opposition and low smoking, the LPF did not change what was planned.
Why is smoking dangerous?
Caruana explained that the ashes scattered in the air you breathe “are deposited in particles in the eyes, causing irritation in the throat” and therefore asked the population to pay attention to the presence of vomiting, dizziness, persistent cough, shaking or squealing in children“because they are symptoms of spasms that make it necessary to consult a doctor”.
“This year we have noticed a clear relationship between the increase in consultations for respiratory problems, pharyngitis and conjunctivitis, which mostly occur between 48 and 72 hours after the most intense days of the fire,” explained the official. .
This problem not only affects wetlands and visibility, which is why Road Safety has renewed the request to take extreme care of drivers on roads, paths and mainly on Circunvalación Avenue, but also severely damages the quality of the air that the inhabitants breathe .
The secretary indicated that “both adults and young people are prone to heart failure, as are those with chronic lung disease, asthma or allergies”.
“Try to stay indoors with doors and windows closed, ventilate when the smoke concentration decreases, do not smoke indoors or produce particles (do not use vacuum cleaners, candles or incense sticks),” added the recommendation, for all. who are not from Central.
