Has anyone else been affected by the cloud that came down this morning. I didn't hear anything about it on the TV news or weather. I was very worried when going shopping because my breathing was badly affected and my inhaler didn't help much. Heard about the pollution problem from the taxi driver.
Surely there could be some kind of warning of this type of problem.
Hi doublecc...picked this up on the news earlier today. Having a health blip at the moment and would have got to the local shops but have put it off for now.
I'm in the East Midlands and it's hoped that this toxic smog will have drifted away by the end of tomorrow.
It was colours post on here earlier today that alerted me, then it came on the radio and TV. The DEFRA Website on pollution gives good information too via a coloured map of the UK.
But my breathing problems started yesterday and just got worse today, so I have had to increase my medication. I wonder if the smog started on Wednesday
I read in the paper that it started in a small way a couple of days ago but got worse today. But I haven't had any here in Devon thank goodness. x
It was on the 6am news this morning,and they said tomorrow back to normal,so stayed indoors today.
My breathing was bad this morning and put it down to the dust and tarmac fumes from the council workmen outside my home, but then heard about the cloud on the radio, so pleased to hear it should be gone by tomorrow. Hoping to see the eclipse around 9:30am tomorrow morning and it seems that in the East Midlands the weather conditions should be good for this.
yes news did say that peeps that have breathing difficulty should ovoid going out for couple of days yesterday could understand why i was so bad but stayed into day feel better
That's the problem ,it can be invisible ,I look at my car and see if anything has laid on it. Dust tree pollen as it can put me in hospital
My breathing was very difficult yesterday but feels a little easier today.
The BLF Put out warnings on FB. And Twitter.
The Defra website has air quality forecasts.
Hi Doublecee - it WAS featured in many Newspapers , on the Internet AND on Telly ! early morning broadcasts as a warning to us folk with any " Lung diseases " , so avoided going out all day, sorry you missed these "Announcements " .....
I'm still bad and I've stayed in with the windows shut and I live up the road to the sea but not taking any chances.
Hi,
You can submit your mobile number to a website called Airtext and they'll text you each day with air pollution warnings
Yes, trying to breathe over the past few days has been difficult. Good to know it's not only me.
