Information from EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), GMA/GMet (Ghana Meteorological Agency) and GHS (Ghana Health Service) is that the current change in weather/atmosphere across the country is not harmattan, but rather an extreme form of air pollution with dire consequences on human health.

 

This can be hazardous and lead to:

 

  1. Reduced Lung function.
  2. Respiratory infection
  3. Inflammation
  4. Oxidative Stress (low level of antioxidants which creates an imbalance in your body)

Etc.

 

Consequently, everyone is being advised to:

 

–              Mask-up (wear nose mask)

–              Stay hydrated (Drink more water)

–              Cover food and water very well to prevent dust from settling on them.

–              Wash fruits very well before eating them.

–              And stay indoors as much as possible.

 

This condition may prevail for a considerable period.

 

Therefore, let’s take note and adhere and keep our families and friends informed.
