North African Dust Degrades Air Quality on the Continent

A mass of air from North Africa is affecting mainland Portugal with suspended dust, causing poor air quality across much of the territory, mainly in the Centro and Sul regions. The phenomenon, which is expected to persist over the next few days, causes an increase in PM10 particle concentrations, with effects on human health, especially in children, elderly people, and those with respiratory or cardiovascular problems. The Directorate-General for Health recommends that the general population avoid prolonged efforts and outdoor exposure, while the most vulnerable groups should remain indoors with windows closed. There is also a possibility of "mud rain" between this afternoon and the early hours of the morning.
