With the onset of the summer period, the threat of forest fires increases significantly, as a result of which smog, which is dangerous to health, envelops settlements. Experts have told how to effectively protect yourself from exposure to carbon monoxide.
The reason for the significant increase in forest fires was, among other things, global warming, but the responsibility for this type of event is not only weather conditions, but also technical unpreparedness. As a result, cities begin to be covered with thick smoke, which negatively affects human health. Carbon monoxide blocks the transfer of oxygen in the human body, which can lead to hypoxia. As a result, the heart begins to beat faster, as a result of which tachycardia occurs. In order to alleviate the human condition, it is necessary to introduce a medical drug capable of releasing hemoglobin from carbon monoxide. If signs of intoxication are noticed, the person must be taken to fresh air immediately, but this can become a problem if smog is present on the street. In this case, an oxygen cylinder will help, which, thanks to its compact size, can be carried in a pocket or purse. This drug weighs 200 grams, there is enough air in it to provide first aid.
Such an oxygen canister can be used in case of massive environmental pollution, it can be used several times a day. This tool will help improve the work of the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system. According to experts, first of all, it is necessary to get such sprays for the elderly, expectant mothers and children. Experts note that it is necessary to prepare for an emergency situation in advance, and not hope for a lucky chance.
