WILDFIRE SMOKE – PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY

Recent studies show that wildfire smoke is up to 10 times more toxic than other forms of air pollution.

It is imperative to address the toxic burden associated with what is actually “in” the smoke that we are breathing. When wildfires burn homes and buildings, the toxic fumes produced contain an array of chemicals, plastic, metals. and glyphosate. These pollutants also include formaldehyde, acrolein, carbon monoxide, and several thousand other compounds.

What Wildfire Smoke Does to Your Body

• Persistent coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing and asthma symptoms.
• Reduction in lung function and lung inflammation
• Pulmonary inflammation
• Reduced immune function
• Aggravation of pre-existing respiratory and cardiovascular disease
• Premature death

How to Protect Yourself from Wildfire Smoke

1. Limit Your Time Outdoors

• Stay inside and shut all windows and doors in order to reduce your exposure to air pollution.
• Avoid exercising outdoors until the air quality improves. When we exercise, our air intake increases as much as 10 to 20 times over our normal resting level, so you’ll inhale more pollution when the air quality is low.

2. Recirculate Clean Indoor Air

When you’re staying inside to protect yourself from smoke and air pollution, be sure to set your air conditioner to re-circulate air. You’ll also want to make sure that your filter is clean and functioning properly.

3. Use an Air Filter

To clean indoor air, you can use a portable air cleaner that contains a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.

4. Pay Attention to Local Air Quality

One of the best ways to protect yourself from wildfire smoke and exposure to particles from smoke is to be aware of the Air Quality index in your area. You can check your local air quality report at AirNow.gov.
