Joyce: Good morning Tim, why are you wearing a mask today? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need a sick leave?
Tim: Good morning Joyce, I’m very fine. These days have severe air pollution.
Joyce: Oh… air pollution… it shouldn’t be a big issue if you’re not sensitive like elderly or children or with respiratory problems.
Tim: Agree, for the short term, we won’t feel anything. But in the long run, bit by bit, it poses a threat and leads to chronic disease.
Joyce: Chronic disease? It is just dust, how come would it turn into chronic disease?!
Tim: Recent studies conducted in the UK have proven the link between particles and cancer cases. Air pollution is not only dust, it’s also a cocktail of toxic gasses.
Joyce: Ooch… for real?! Give me a mask, I need one now.
Tim: Sure! And you should keep an eye on the air quality level at your home or office. It impacts your health over time
