A member asked:
Is it bad to bring a 14 month old outside when the air pollution is high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid it: Because of the higher likelihood of causing respiratory difficulties (upper and lower airway), it is best for infants and toddlers not to be too exposed to air pollution. Early morning is usually a better time; watch the levels reported on the news!
