AIR QUALITY ADVISORY FOR THE VIRGIN ISLANDS, Sunday May 7, 2023

May 7, 2023321Views

People outdoors are asked to be careful. NOAA reports a large plume of Saharan Dust is present over the Virgin Islands.

Saharan Dust reduces air quality by increasing levels of sand and dust in the air. It can be harmful to your health if these particles are breathed in.

Persons most likely to experience problems due to exposure to the Saharan Dust are:

  • Children
  • Elderly persons
  • People with respiratory illnesses
  • People with chronic cardio-pulmonary diseases

These individuals are asked to exercise caution while outdoors.

If possible, spend more time indoors and choose less strenuous outdoor activities. (Centre for Disease Control)
