High levels of air pollution are
causing children staying at home during their school’s day, in addition,
cycling and running during rush hours in most affected regions by air pollution
is not advisable. Older people and those who suffers heart or lung disease
cannot do exercise outside, is preferable doing it indoors. Healthy people who
exercise outdoors should use alternatives roads during rush hours.
The highest levels of air pollution
take place in the south-east of England reaching the maximum of 10 in the
scale. The advice works for worst affected parts of England that’s why some
schools should take serious measures about the health of their students.
Opinion
The children were affected as result
of high levels of pollutants in England, especially students which suffer
respiratory diseases. Ideas like keep them indoors during the recess gives good
results but some children with asthma who usually walk to school less than a
mile are having problems to breathe and they should increase the medication. I
think that these measures would not work much longer maybe they will start to
suffer another kind of disease like mental illness. They are kids and they need
to go out.
On the other hand this article talks
about healthy people that make exercise outdoors or goes to their jobs in
bicycle or running. Stopping the physical exercise or avoid the use of
alternatives transportation is not the advice, on the contrary, if was possible
that almost all people leave their cars in home; they would contribute to
world’s improvement.
