Dust Levels High Across Cyprus: Experts Issue Health Warnings

High dust concentrations are being observed in the atmosphere across Cyprus, according to measurements from the Department of Labour Inspection. The dust contains small particles that can negatively affect human health, so the public, especially vulnerable groups (children, the elderly, and patients), are advised to avoid going out in open spaces until the air quality improves. Employers are urged to take safety measures for workers in outdoor spaces, while workers are advised to use appropriate personal protective equipment. Measurements at 8:00 a.m. showed higher concentrations in Larnaca, Paphos, Agia Marina Xyliatou, and Zygi.
