People in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne are being told to avoid going outside as bushfire smoke drifting over the cities poses a potentially fatal health risk.<\/h3>\n

Dr Tony Bartone has told Channel 9\u2019s Today show:<\/p>\n

“The length and the density of the smoke haze to which we’re being exposed at the moment is of unprecedented nature. It has been going on for longer and it’s particularly thick and poor air quality in our major capital cities,” he told Today.<\/p>\n

“It is it particularly a problem for asthmatics and people with pre-existing heart conditions and but also those of us in the community that haven’t yet been exposed to those triggers and have got undiagnosed lung conditions.<\/p>\n

“If you do experience chest tightness and difficulty breathing, not being able to finish a sentence without taking a second breath you should seek medical attention quickly.<\/p>\n

“Specifically, the advice is if you don’t need to go out, don’t go out.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
