The concentration of dust can be 10 times higher than usual during this time of the year
Last week, the Helsinki Region Environmental Services (HSY) reported that the air quality in the Finnish capital has begun deteriorating due to the beginning of the ‘street dust season’. According to HSY, March and April are often perceived to be the worst months for street dust as the sun comes out, the snow melts, and the streets become dry. In turn, traffic flow and wind lift dust into the air, reducing its quality.
Reporting that the concentration of dust can be 10 times higher than usual during this time of the year, the capital stressed that this season can have a negative impact on our health. More specifically, it shared that young children, elderly people, and those with respiratory/heart diseases can develop irritating symptoms such as a runny nose, cough, and itchy eyes (among others).
The Finnish capital has now published the following list of tips to help those living in the city minimise the generation of street dust and/or cope with poor air quality:
Lastly, the municipality reminds residents that they can monitor the air quality in their area by visiting hsy.fi.
