Given rapid economic developments and urbanization over the last few decades, China has experienced frequent haze episodes, which have adverse effects on public health. Children and elderly individuals are more susceptible than the general population to air pollution. In this study, we introduce interventions to reduce the exposure of elderly individuals and children to air pollution during hazy weather. These interventions include avoiding outdoor activities, wearing a dust mask, reducing burning biomass fuels, reducing frying and smoking at home, using an air filtration unit and taking supplemental antioxidants. However, the actual benefits of these measures remain unproven and are unlikely to be adequate. Sustained clean air policies remain the most important and efficient solution to reduce air pollution-related health effects.
在过去几十年中，由于经济的快速发展和城市化进程，中国频繁遭遇雾霾天气，这对公众健康产生了不利影响。儿童和老年人比一般人群更容易受到空气污染的影响。在本研究中，我们介绍了一些干预措施，以减少雾霾天气期间老年人和儿童接触空气污染的机会。这些干预措施包括避免户外活动、佩戴防尘口罩、减少生物质燃料燃烧、减少在家中煎炸和吸烟、使用空气过滤装置以及服用补充抗氧化剂。然而，这些措施的实际效果尚未得到证实，而且可能并不充分。持续的清洁空气政策仍然是减少与空气污染相关的健康影响的最重要和最有效的解决方案。
