Keep the air in your home cleaner & safer with the SoClean Air Purifier+.
For several weeks, wildfires have raged across eastern Canada, impacting not only the people that live in the region, but also affecting those farther afield. Air currents are carrying hazardous smoke into northern parts of the USA, having a major impact on air quality. For those affected, the outlook isn't set to improve anytime soon; the fires are expected to last all throughout the summer.
Why Smoke Spreads
Wildfire smoke can reach several miles high. Once the smoke hangs high above the ground, it can be carried in regular wind systems and the jet stream, potentially traveling several thousand miles. The jet stream is a narrow but strong and fast-moving current of air that circles the world from east to west. Smoke carried in the jet stream can affect surface conditions, hence why areas far from fires still experience the impacts of smoke. Even when fires stop burning, smoke is already moving above, causing long-lasting effects.
Impact of Wildfires on Air Quality
Some people can notice the hazy smoggy visual impacts of wildfire smoke hanging in the skies when they look outside. It doesn't only look foreboding; wildfire smoke can also be harmful to health [1]. Many places in the Northeast have already received air quality alerts. The wildfires in Canada are affecting air quality in several states, including those in the New England region, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Localized wildfires in the United States also play a role in lowering regional air quality in other parts of the country.
Reduced air quality because of wildfires leads to an increased number of hospitalizations and physician visits, as well as rising drug prescriptions and purchases.
Maintaining Clean Air at Home
While there is, unfortunately, little people in affected areas can do to prevent wildfire smoke, there are significant means to mitigate the effects and protect loved ones. People should limit trips outdoors and wear respirator masks if they must go outdoors. Keeping doors and windows closed can reduce the amount of smoke that's able to enter the home. However, outside air can still enter the home in various ways.
An air purifier actively cleans the air inside the home. Using a fan and filter, air purifiers clean the air, removing various toxins and pollutants. Air purifiers also remove many allergens from the air, such as pet dander and pollen, making them a worthwhile investment for any time of year.
