Breathe Easy During Smoke Alerts | Fargo News

Smoke’s rolling across the country from Canadian and Minnesota wildfires, turning air quality “very unhealthy” in many areas — and in some spots, even “hazardous.” Tiny PM 2.5 particles are sneaking into lungs and even your bloodstream. Fight back with high-MERV (13+) filters in your HVAC system, or build your own DIY air cleaner using a box fan and taped MERV 13 filters. HEPA filters (MERV 17) are the gold standard, catching over 99% of particles. Seal windows, stay hydrated, and wear a mask outside — because clean air indoors is your best bet right now.
