There are dirty clouds in many cities in China. We asked some scientists about how to live in cloudy weather. Let’s see the following ways:
Eat more fungus(木耳). Yang Yue, a doctor in Beijing Hospital, told the reporter that the dirty air is bad to our health because it will cause all kinds of disease. He said it was easy to have a bad cough when the air is dirty. Eating more black or white fungus is good for our health.
Keep windows closed. Yang Yue said we can’t open the windows or doors. If windows or doors are open, the dirty air will come in with much PM2.5. It is good to put some green plants in the room. Green plants can take in dust in rooms.
Clean your own home. When cleaning the houses, people should wipe slowly. We shouldn’t sweep the houses because clouds of dust will fly everywhere by sweeping. It is important to keep rooms wet. We may put a wet towel on the heater.
