"Those who are exposed to gas, which is released during the burning of similar types of substances , begin to cough more often, produce sputum. Having wheezing in the chest, especially people if they have asthma. These people, if they have complaints, usually have medication with which these complaints are overcome, if within one or two applications these complaints are not overcome, they should seek help from a specialist.
This is what doctor Alexander Simidchiev, PP-DB deputy and specialist in lung diseases, said in the parliament in connection with the explosion near Elin Pelin, novini.bg reported.
He explained that for those seriously ill with chronic diseases, the risk is increased, while for the healthier there is no substantial risk.
The amount of fine dust particles is elevated in the area of Elin Pelin, he added.
"When the source of smoke is from pirates, it also contains other substances that are released and people inhale them, according to the representative of the people.
At least 1-2 kilometers is the perimeter in which fine dust particles are found, according to Alexander Simidchiev. This is not a problem for everyone, Simidchiev reassured again. Evacuation makes sense where there is a threat to people's lives, he said in response to a question whether it was necessary.
The Ministry of the Interior has done everything to account for this risk, according to the MP.
