People with asthma, COPD and other lung conditions are being urged to take extra care at Eleventh Night celebrations to avoid potentially life-threatening asthma attacks and flare-ups, a leading lung charity is warning.
Every year, huge bonfires are lit in areas across Northern Ireland on the Eleventh Night to usher in the main date in the parading calendar - the Twelfth of July.
But around 186,000 people in Northern Ireland with lung conditions such as asthma or COPD could find smoke from bonfires triggers their symptoms, say Asthma + Lung UK Northern Ireland.
