Yeah, sounds like sensible precautions. I was reminded recently how in dry areas ancient seabeds (Aral Sea, Lake Chad basin) and dried up lakebeds can be bad when winds get strong, due to the micro fine silicate particles that get blown around, I guess from diatoms, glass sponge detritus, alkaline dust.
Anyway, good reminder to use your senses, the nose knows; if you have to mouth-breathe due to poor air, it's probably hard on the lungs.
