According to media reports, many provinces in North China are currently experiencing dusty weather. After this news was paid attention to by netizens on social platforms, it caused extensive discussion among netizens.

Some netizens believe that the current dusty weather is related to the current cold air; Some netizens turned to social platforms for help and asked what measures should be taken to protect their own safety in dusty weather. Below the author will describe the safety protection measures we should take when the dust weather strikes.

1. Close the doors and windows and keep the room clean. When dusty weather strikes, a large amount of dust will enter our room with the wind, which will not only corrode the furniture at home, but also affect the cleanliness of the room. Therefore, when the weather forecast reports that dusty weather is coming, we should close the doors and windows, keep the room airtight and prevent dust from entering, so as to keep the room clean and avoid frequent cleaning of the room because of dust.

Second, reduce travel and wear masks and sunglasses when traveling. In fact, it is not recommended to go out when dusty weather strikes, and it is best to reduce the number of trips when it is unnecessary. However, if we have to travel, we must pay attention to wearing masks and sunglasses, because sand and dust may enter our eyes, ears and nose in strong dusty weather. We can wear masks to prevent dust inhalation and sunglasses to prevent dust from entering our eyes, thus protecting our own safety.

Third, pay attention to the maintenance of water and wash your hands frequently. When the sandstorm strikes, it is actually accompanied by dry air, so we must pay attention to our own moisturizing. Drink plenty of water, wash your face and hands frequently. Keep yourself hydrated to prevent unhealthy phenomena such as chapped skin and chapped lips caused by too little water. Be sure to wash your hands, face and nose frequently after you go home, because you must be covered with dust when you come home from outside, so washing your hands, face and nose can keep yourself clean, and at the same time avoid polluting the furniture because of too much dust on your body, and avoid the threat of dust inhalation to your health.

Fourth, turn on the light when driving and pay attention to safety. Be sure to turn on the light when you go out to drive. Due to the low visibility in dusty weather, our usual vision is limited. You can know the existence of the opposite side by turning on the light. In addition, we must pay attention to safety during driving, and keep driving at medium and low speed, because in the case of low visibility, the danger during driving is actually greatly improved, so we must pay attention to safety.
