Daily Air Quality Index (DAQI)How you can reduce your exposure to air pollution
Long term exposure to air pollution (over years) can lead to many different health conditions and can reduce life expectancy.
You should try to reduce your exposure to air pollution where you can, even when levels are low.
Consider the following actions:
- take routes where there is less traffic, especially at busy times of day
- commute, walk or exercise in parks or other green spaces, if you are not affected by pollen
- if you exercise indoors, make sure the room is well ventilated

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.
