Individuals can take several steps to protect themselves from the harmful effects of air pollution:
Monitor air quality forecasts and limit outdoor activities when pollution levels are high. Use masks or respirators in areas with high pollution. Improve indoor air quality by using air purifiers and ventilating homes regularly. Support and advocate for policies that aim to reduce air pollution. Adopt a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to strengthen the immune system against potential pollutants.
