Poor air quality caused by dust particles reported from several cities
High concentration of dust particles causes poor air quality in several areas across Hungary, the national public health centre said on Friday.
The air quality is “unhealthy” in Budapest, Kecskemét, Tököl and Vác in central and northern Hungary, the centre said.
It can cause acute symptoms, such as coughing, irritation and heavy breathing primarily to children, the elderly and those who suffer from chronic diseases, they added.
The centre has advised cyclists to wear masks and use less busy roads. Residents are requested to use public transport rather than cars and avoid using improper heating materials.
The centre added that air quality was also bad in several other towns around Hungary, including Dorog, Dunaújváros, Eger, Esztergom, Kazincbarcika, Miskolc, Nyíregyháza, Pécs, Putnok, Sajószentpéter, Százhalombatta, Szeged, Szentgotthárd, Szolnok and Várpalota.
