Health Risks from Particulate Matter Surge
Recent weather conditions have led to elevated levels of particulate matter in southern Germany, exacerbated by fireworks on New Year's Eve. These celebrations contribute approximately 1% of the annual particulate matter in a single night, posing significant health risks.
The Federal Environment Agency has issued warnings regarding respiratory and cardiovascular issues linked to high pollution levels. Inversions and varying wind patterns further complicate the situation, with the south facing more intense pollution.
While air quality typically improves on New Year's Day, some areas may still experience dangerously high levels of particulate matter. Citizens are advised to limit physical exertion during these times to safeguard their health.
