The Air Quality Index in my town is currently 260 (very unhealthy) due to a surge in wildfires in western Canada and the northwest US. There are additional smaller fires not shown on this map at this zoom level.

From the interactive map it looks like the worst air in the world right now.

Today is a LOT better than. Yesterday, I'll be very glad to be at home later where my AC filters are keeping my place breathable.. did t have that the last time this was an issue and wow. Makes a BIG difference.

I've had the AC filters, and they make a difference, just don't forget to change them afterward. I also ended up buying one of those home air purifier things (something I never thought I'd do), and that's helped with the air in my bedroom at night as well - I'm no longer waking up with headaches. That plus an N95 mask outside and I'm actually doing okay!

Consider sealing off the stove extractor fan (when not using the stove) if you have one, it was our biggest leak during the heavy smoke season.

[–] athos77@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Oh, thanks for that tip - that never occurred to me!

Yeah, can I sue my Ex for keeping my kids outside all weekend? I kept one of my kids home today because his camp didn't have an indoor option.

Yes, if you can find a lawyer willing to classify this as "substantial risk of illness"

Also in PNW and Today is by far the worst day of the year here. I've had to use my inhaler like 4x.
