Wildfire season is here, and according to forecasts, 2024 could be worse than previous years. As we prepare for the potential impact, it's important to consider how we can keep our families safe from the harmful effects of PM2.5.
PM2.5 is a type of fine particulate matter that can penetrate deep into our lungs and bloodstream. Exposure to PM2.5 has been linked to a range of serious health issues, including heart disease, stroke, and respiratory problems.
To protect our families from the harmful effects of PM2.5, we can take a few simple steps. These include:
- Staying informed about air quality conditions in our area
- Limiting time spent outdoors when air quality is poor
- Keeping windows and doors closed to prevent outdoor air from entering our homes
- Using HEPA filters to remove PM2.5 from indoor air
- Ask your HVAC contractor about the Sendal Breathe IAQ solution
By taking these steps, we can help protect ourselves and our loved ones from the harmful effects of PM2.5 during wildfire season and beyond.
