Barcelona has issued a preventive air-pollution warning due to elevated PM10 levels detected by monitoring systems. This warning encourages citizens to minimize vehicle use, switch to public transport, and adjust home cooling methods. PM10, small particles harmful to respiratory and cardiac health, are predominantly produced by road traffic and construction activities. The City Council advises residents, particularly sensitive groups like children and the elderly, to limit outdoor exercise to the evening when PM10 levels are lower, and implement strategies to help reduce particulate matter in the air.
Barcelona's preventive PM10 pollution alert calls for residents to reduce traffic, utilize public transport, and shift outdoor activities to the evening to lower exposure.
PM10 particles, primarily from road traffic, contribute to respiratory and heart issues. The city attributes 40% of these particles to vehicle emissions and construction.
