Smoke Safety: Protect Your Health Indoors | Global News

Wildfire smoke isn’t just pretty hazy—it’s a health hazard. When smoke from Canada blankets your neighborhood, stay indoors and upgrade your air defense: use MERV 13+ filters, run fans on recirculate, and avoid ozone-spewing purifiers. For a budget fix, duct-tape furnace filters to a box fan—it works surprisingly well. Seal gaps like you would for winter, ditch candles and fireplaces, and if you feel shortness of breath or chest tightness, get fresh air fast—or head to the ER if it’s severe.
