Wildfire Smoke Heads South | Science News

Wildfire smoke from Minnesota is heading south, threatening air quality in major cities like Detroit, Philly, and NYC—potentially turning skies orange and pushing air quality into hazardous levels. Fine PM2.5 particles are the real danger, so stay indoors, wear N95 masks if you must go out, and keep windows shut. The smoke, fueled by drought, heat, lightning, and wind, could linger for up to ten days. Models are still uncertain, but officials have declared an emergency as parks close and help is being mobilized. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
