Smoke from Canada Threatens U.S. Air | Sacramento News

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is drifting hundreds of miles into the U.S., causing unhealthy air quality and exposing people to dangerous fine particles and gases. While everyone can be affected, kids, seniors, pregnant people, and those with heart or lung conditions are at highest risk — and symptoms may not appear until after the smoke clears. Watch for shortness of breath, chest tightness, or trouble breathing deeply. Climate change is making these wildfires more frequent. If you must go outside, limit time spent outdoors, avoid strenuous activity, wear an N95 mask, and keep windows shut. Use air purifiers or AC recirculation to clean indoor air. Air quality can shift quickly — stay updated on local forecasts and advisories until the smoke passes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
