Potential Effects from Smoke:
- Increased susceptibility to bacterial or viral infections because of compromised immune system
- Trouble breathing (e.g., coughing, wheezing, chest tightness)
What you can do:
- Consider creating a plan with your doctor if you have any medical conditions that could be made worse due to smoke exposure.
- Reduce the amount of time you’re breathing unhealthy air by going to or creating a Clean Indoor Air space.
- Stay inside as much as possible. Keep windows and doors closed and turn on an HVAC system with a filter or use a portable air filter if available.
- Wear an N95 mask if you have to go outside
