People with asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, heart disease and angina are more at risk from high levels of air pollution. There are simple steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of any impacts. These include taking your inhaler or angina spray with you, taking extra doses if symptoms worsen, and avoiding strenuous outdoor activity on polluted days.
If you care for or are a parent of someone with these symptoms it may help you look after them better if you know when pollution is likely to be a problem.
You can choose whether to receive your airTEXT alert on the evening before or on the actual morning of days when elevated air pollution is forecast.
If you receive airTEXT alerts via your mobile phone you will get a text message with details of the alert and brief information about symptoms and health advice.
If you receive airTEXT alerts via your home phone it will ring as normal and you will hear a recorded message giving you the air pollution alert and further information about symptoms and health advice.
You will receive the same air pollution alert, information about symptoms and health advice and you can choose whether to receive it on your work or home computer.
Whichever method you choose, airTEXT is completely free of charge!
