Red Sun Creates Hazy Conditions in South Dakota
South Dakota residents are urged to limit their time outdoors due to the hazy conditions caused by smoke from Canadian wildfires.
The red sun, while visually captivating, poses a breathing hazard, particularly for individuals with asthma and other chronic health conditions.
The hazy sky has prompted 84-year-old Marvel to reduce his outdoor activities significantly.
Marvel, who suffers from asthma, now spends only about an hour outside each morning.
The smoke particles, originating from the wildfires, contain fine particulate matter that can bypass the body’s natural defense systems and cause inflammation and respiratory problems when inhaled.
Dr.
Paul Berger, a medical professional, advises individuals to decrease their time spent outdoors and stay hydrated.
However, seeking refuge indoors does not guarantee complete protection as microscopic particles can infiltrate homes.
High-risk individuals are encouraged to stay in rooms that are well-sealed and away from windows and doors.
Even those who are not considered at high risk may experience symptoms such as red eyes, congestion, and a slight cough due to the smoke.
The South Dakota community hopes for the hazy conditions to dissipate soon, allowing them to enjoy the clear blue skies of spring once again.
