Pneumoconiosis patients should be alert to haze weather

The continuous haze has brought great risks to pneumoconiosis patients. The Seventh Hospital of Shijiazhuang City (Shijiazhuang City, Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Institute) experts recommend that the majority of pneumoconiosis patients, to maintain the scientific laws of life, go out, eat more fresh pears stewed Lily, and later drink Mangosteen tea.

It is understood that pneumoconiosis is the most serious occupational disease that jeopardizes the health of Chinese workers. According to statistics, pneumoconiosis accounts for 80% of all occupational diseases reported in the country, and the incidence rate remains high.

Pneumoconiosis itself has no specific clinical manifestations, and its clinical manifestations are mostly related to complications. When patients have respiratory infections, chest tightness, chest pain, cough, sputum, difficulty in exertional breathing, and decreased respiratory function can seriously affect quality of life. Repeated respiratory infections can accelerate the progression of disease progression. Finally, pulmonary heart disease, Respiratory failure and death.

What is the impact of hazy days on pneumoconiosis patients? Experts from the hospital told the reporter that pneumoconiosis is a systemic disease that is mainly caused by diffuse fibrosis (scarring) of the lung tissue due to long-term inhalation of productive dust (dust) in occupational activities and retention in the lungs. The defense function of the respiratory system is impaired, and the patient's resistance is significantly reduced. The hemorrhoids are composed of particles of dust, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc. These particles tend to carry bacteria and viruses and float in the air for a long time. Unable to catch the "mist" is very easy to cause respiratory infections so that patients with pneumoconiosis acute exacerbations.

Due to the low atmospheric pressure and low visibility due to haze, the air is suspended in large amounts of toxic particles such as dust. The expert recommends that pneumoconiosis patients should be kept away from the road because the peak concentration of commutes and nights and large cars entering the urban areas during these periods have the highest concentration of pollutants, and they should be kept as low as possible. Talk or wear a mask; vulnerable elderly people and vulnerable populations with respiratory diseases should minimize the number of people going out or reduce outdoor activities. Wear a mask to protect the body when out and prevent pollutants from infiltrating into the lungs from the nose and mouth. After returning home, wash your face and bare skin immediately.

At the same time, in heavy fog weather, doors and windows should be closed to prevent outdoor fogging from entering indoor air and inducing acute respiratory infections.

In addition, the expert reminded that to develop reasonable living habits, we should drink more water in daily life, avoid drinking alcohol, quit smoking, pay attention to reasonable nutrition, eat light, eat less irritating food, and increase some protein (milk, eggs, lean meat). ) and foods rich in vitamin c (fresh fruits and vegetables), if necessary, to supplement calcium supplement D.
