In a press release published this Tuesday, June 6, the Approved Association for Air Quality Monitoring in Guadeloupe Gwad'Air places the territory of Saint-Martin in red level for air pollution in fine particles PM10.
The PM10 fine particle concentrations in the air should exceed 50μg/m3 on average over 24 hours, a value corresponding to the information and recommendation threshold. Faced with this forecast and the persistence of this episode of pollution, the alert procedure is triggered in accordance with the prefectural decree relating to the management of episodes of pollution in the ambient air. This pollution is mainly linked to the passage of sand mists over the Guadeloupe archipelago, but also to human activity (combustion of fossil fuels, means of transport, industrial activities). Short-term exposure presents a risk to the health of particularly sensitive groups within the population (pregnant women, infants and young children, people over 65 or suffering from cardiovascular, cardiac or respiratory pathologies, asthmatics). In the event of respiratory or cardiac discomfort, take advice from your doctor, favor shorter outings with less effort, limit travel on roads and their surroundings during peak periods, as well as intense physical and sports activities. both outdoors and indoors. Consult the Gwadair website (see info) to find out about the measures for reducing emissions. _VX
