The issue is the very fine particulate matter that gets inhaled. Breathing that in, even in small amounts, should be avoided.
According to experts, the best way to prevent breathing in the harmful particles from wildfire smoke is to stay indoors. But what can you do indoors to further minimize exposure?
- Besides keeping all your doors and windows closed, turn off any ventilation systems that bring outdoor air inside, such as Energy Recovery Ventilators. - If you have a window unit air conditioner, check that it's sealed to the window correctly and as tightly as possible.
