Wildfire and Smoke Emergencies
Pollutants in smoke can cause burning eyes, aggravate heart and lung diseases, and aggravate other serious health problems. Clean Air Agencies recommend staying at home when possible, limiting outdoor activities, and following medical advice from health care professionals, including wearing an N95 mask if required to venture outside.
