AIR QUALITY ALERTS CONTINUE AS WILDFIRES CONTINUE TO BURN
The air quality alerts continue as wildfires continue to burn. We have all been inundated with the media attention on the wildfires that are impacting many parts of the world. Even if you don’t live in an area where wildfires occur, you will still feel the negative effects on your air quality. The reason for this is because wildfire smoke can travel thousands of miles beyond the original fire location.
What makes wildfire smoke harmful? The smoke contains particles and one of the many pollutants found in wildfire smoke is particle pollution—a mix of very tiny solid and liquid particles suspended in the air. These particles are so small that they enter and lodge deep in the lungs. Another serious threat from this smoke is carbon monoxide- a colourless, odourless gas. Inhaling CO reduces oxygen to the body’s organs and tissues and can lead to the many previously listed symptoms or even premature death.

When air quality alerts are issued, it is advisable that one remains indoors. Because of the small size of the particles, they can easily penetrate homes and buildings. During wildfires, accumulation of these particles can increase dramatically indoors causing poor indoor air quality.
