How does your body react?
Your body works hard to resist the effects of air pollution. But if you already have hay fever or asthma, you might feel more ill when air pollution levels are high. Across the country, people are finding that when the air quality is bad, their health gets worse.
How does it make you feel?
Pollution can affect your immune system, so that you can catch infections more easily.
Pollution can make you cough, splutter and wheeze...
It can make you sneeze and it
can make your eyes itch…
It can make you feel tired,
dizzy or even sick…
…although it’s unlikely to make you actually throw up. That would be really repulsive. 
Pollution can also give you gunky green snot, and more bogeys than your nostrils have space for.
