    Sydney is experiencing one of the worst moments ever, when it comes to air quality. The city has in fact been enveloped for some time by a dense gray smoke that comes from forest fires due to the wind.





    The smoke, in addition to almost completely blocking visibility, is causing the i levels of pollutants in the atmosphere.

    NSW Health, the Australian Ministry of Health, reiterated the need to wear masks, although the masks may not provide adequate protection since the air quality index in Sydney (AQI) has skyrocketed due to wildfires on the outskirts of the city.
    Furthermore, in order to be effective, the masks must be made to adhere perfectly to the face, which is not easy.

    The Ministry recalled that air pollution is particularly risky for those suffering from respiratory and heart problems, but stressed that similar pollution levels are dangerous for all citizens.

    Any region with an AQI greater than 200 is considered dangerous: in some areas, including that of Rozelle, the AQI reached 2.552, a level 12 times higher than the maximum tolerated threshold.

    The thick smoke necessitated the ferry cancellation for several hours as well the evacuation of numerous buildings.

    Then there is the problem of high temperatures, which exposes the population to further risks, especially for children and elderly and sick people, without forgetting the black ash that continues to invade the beaches and pollute the sand and water.
