Wildfire Smoke Safety Guide | Madison News

Wisconsin’s air is dangerously polluted, with AQI soaring to 450 in Madison—health officials urge everyone indoors. Wildfire smoke’s tiny particles penetrate deep into lungs, and cloth masks won’t help. Seal your home, build a DIY filter with a furnace filter and box fan, and protect pets too. Shower and wash clothes after outdoor exposure. Use MERV 13 HVAC filters or HEPA air purifiers inside, and recirculate your car’s AC. Check air quality via weather apps or airnow.gov—this is worse than past events, so act now to stay safe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
