Health advice for low levels of air pollution

For most people, short term exposure to low levels of air pollution is not an issue.

For most people, short term exposure to low levels of air pollution is not an issue. Continue your usual outdoor activities.

Some people might experience symptoms due to air pollution, even when levels are low.

Adults and children with lung or heart conditions are at greater risk of experiencing symptoms.

Symptoms could include:

  • coughing
  • chest tightness and pain
  • difficulty breathing
  • worsening of asthma symptoms
  • worsening of heart-related symptoms, such as heart palpitations
  • worsening of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms

Follow your doctor or nurse's usual advice about physically demanding activities and managing your condition.

Follow your agreed management plan if you have one – for example, an asthma action plan. Ask your doctor or nurse for a plan if you do not have one.

Also consider the impact of other triggers on your symptoms – for example, high pollen outside or poor air quality indoors.

Reducing your exposure

  • Take routes with less traffic, especially at busy times of day
  • Walk or exercise in parks and green spaces if pollen is not a problem for you
  • Make sure the room is well ventilated if you exercise indoors
  • Follow your asthma or COPD management plan if you have one
