How are you dealing with the air quality?
I’ve had gnarly headaches and burning eyes with everything going on. 2 air purifiers running indoors, N95 masks outside, live in an old apartment with no AC.
I heard a respiratory doctor on a podcast say that the AQI may look low in certain neighborhoods because the meters measure the amount of particulate matter, but not the substance I.e. there’s now more asbestos and dangerous chemicals in the air (because of the age of the neighborhoods that have burned down), but the AQIs may not reflect that danger because the meters are reading how much matter is in the air, not that it’s made up of more dangerous chemicals. He suggested to wear an N95 as long as one week after all the fires have gone out.
How are y’all holding up? What are you doing to manage it?
