The Invisible #ClimateChange Effect That Is Most Likely to Kill You
#AirPollution is less dramatic than floods or storms, less inconvenient, and much harder to politicize. It’s also much more deadly.
Liza Featherstone, August 1, 2025
Excerpt: "In #NewYorkCity, I’m lucky enough to enjoy better air quality than many other places. We are only the fiftieth most #polluted city in the world, way behind #Chicago, #Dubai, #Jakarta, #Delhi, and numerous (enormously populous) cities in #China. But for a few days early this week, it was hard to breathe and our phones were buzzing with alerts warning that the most vulnerable—the very young and the very old, and those with poor respiratory health—should stay indoors, due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. But the elderly, the asthmatic, and the babies weren’t the only ones feeling it; my son, a college soccer player, got headaches training outside, as did his friends—all fellow rain-or-shine athletes. Yet for the most part, the problem has gone unremarked.
"Compared to a flood, a fire, or a heat wave, a bad #AirQualityAlert isn’t that inconvenient even when it’s happening. You can still go to work and otherwise go about your day. If you own property, it won’t be damaged. And because #AirPollution lacks visuals, it doesn’t lend itself to morbid #doomscrolling or panicked media coverage.
"Yet compared to floods, fires, and heat waves, bad air is much more deadly. In fact, the danger is barely even comparable. The World Health Organization estimates that air pollution kills about seven million people every year. The direct death toll from heat waves is under half a million, although that’s getting worse. The number of people who die in floods annually is in the thousands, and the direct death toll from wildfires is much smaller than that, though these threats are also getting worse. "

Sunny but #hazy as #WildfireSmoke returns to #Maine Sunday
An #AirQuality Alert is in place for Sunday.
Emily Pike, August 2, 2025
"Sunday morning lows in the 50s and 60s, with highs in the 70s to 80s. Skies will be mostly sunny, but Canadian wildfire smoke will bring a thick haze for the higher elevations. An Air Quality Alert is in effect Sunday.
"An #AirQualityAlert is in effect from 1 AM to 11 PM on Sunday, August 3, 2025, for parts of #Maine and #NewHampshire due to expected high levels of #ParticlePollution.
"The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has issued the alert for the Western and Eastern Interior regions of the state, including areas in #Franklin, #Somerset, #York, Cumberland, #Androscoggin, and #Kennebec counties. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has issued a similar alert for #Coos, #Grafton, and #Carroll counties.
"Air quality is expected to reach levels that are considered 'Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups' due to a plume of smoke moving in from Canada.
"Those most at risk include children, older adults, people with respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema, and anyone who is physically active outdoors. Even healthy individuals may experience mild symptoms and should consider limiting strenuous or prolonged outdoor activity during this time.
"High pressure is keeping things dry and sunny, which may allow the smoke to linger into next week, thickening into Monday.
"Looking Ahead: Maine is off to a dry start this August. Without significant rainfall soon, #drought conditions could develop, potentially affecting #crops and increasing #FireRisk.
"The 8-day forecast shows only a few chances for showers and slightly below-average temperatures, mainly in the 70s to 80s."

#Salem High School dismisses early as brush fires cause unhealthy air quality
Tuesday morning was the worst the air quality has been since the first significant fire broke out in Salem, based on data from the EPA
By Thea DiGiammerino and Alysha Palumbo
Published October 29, 2024"''The fire itself is not the danger. It’s the air quality this morning,' said Chris O’Donnell, Salem Public Schools Director of Communications. 'As we arrived on campus this morning we could smell quite a bit of smoke. There’s always initial concern but we made it clear that the fire is not the danger.'
"According to the Environmental Protection Agency's #AirNow Fire and Smoke Map, air quality in Lynn had reached #HazardousLevels - over 300 PPM - early Tuesday morning, the worst alert level listed and considered an emergency. As of mid-morning it had dropped into the 'very unhealthy' level - between 201 to 300 PM - a category where the risk of health effects is increased for everyone. Levels may fluctuate depending on the fires and weather conditions. The public is advised to limit outdoor activities when possible.
"This is the second day of air quality concerns from the fire. On Monday the smell of smoke was strong all over the #Boston area due to a weather phenomenon called #inversion. That's when warm air traps cool air and smoke close to the ground, and that can be a concern for air quality because #wildfire smoke has been shown to carry #pollutants."

Levels may fluctuate depending on the fires and weather conditions. The public is advised to limit outdoor activities when possible.
"This is the second day of air quality concerns from the fire. On Monday the smell of smoke was strong all over the #Boston area due to a weather phenomenon called #inversion. That's when warm air traps cool air and smoke close to the ground, and that can be a concern for air quality because #wildfire smoke has been shown to carry #pollutants."

Do you all check the AQI for your area, and does your reporting source break down the result? I find that particulate matter (esp. PM 2.5), and nitrogen dioxide, are the main contributors to poor air quality in my area.
Nobody in the U.S. has had it as bad as Klamath, Oregon, though, which recently reported a reading of 402 :blobcatscared: out of 500.

Here we go again!
Air Quality Action Day for all of Michigan Tuesday due to wildfire smoke

Good morning y'all. It appears as though the Canadian wildfire smoke has made its way all the way down here to the Georgia/Florida border.
Air Quality across the Eastern half of the country is awfully bad. If you're sensitive to poor air quality, I would mask up or wear a respirator. I'd also suggest getting an app like AirVisual from IQAir. It's very informative.

I have a dilemma. I need Oatmeal not to go outside in this crap, but also don't want him to pee on the dryer. #AirQualityAlert #cats

Good Sunday morning y'all. A lot can be seen just by looking at the satellite map today.
Canadian fires bringing smoke down to the US. Tornadoes & floods happening in the Northeast. Storms in the Midwest. Saharan dust coming off the coast of Africa. Don still meandering out in the Atlantic, and Tropical Storm Calvin making its way towards Hawaii.

This is us today. No that's not clouds...it's dense smoke and it's blanketing most of #Nebraska. If you have chronic lung or breathing problems please either stay indoors or wear a N95 when going out. And bring all pets inside as well.

CW: Wildfires, air quality, covid, climate change
Looks like my area will be back to dangerously unhealthy air quality levels tomorrow because of the #wildfires in Canada. The air is already getting hazy again. Sigh.
I'm weirdly grateful that being #CovidCautious has prepared me for this because I have N95 masks and air filters, but I also worry about those who aren't as privileged. I also think it's appalling how obvious the need for both #ClimateChange action and improved ventilation are, yet we seem to be sliding backwards on these issues instead of addressing them with the urgency we need.
Anyway, I hope everyone is staying safe, and #WearAMask!

The Air Quality Index in #Ypsilanti is currently 220, which is considered "Very Unhealthy"!
People with heart or lung disease, older adults, children and teens: Avoid physical activities outdoors.
Everyone else: Avoid strenuous outdoor activities, keep outdoor activities short, and consider moving physical activities indoors or rescheduling.

My indoor #PM25 reading is FINALLY as low as is measurable by the #AirPurifier!
At some points yesterday, it was up to 35 ppm even with all windows closed, air conditioners off/sealed, exhaust fans off, etc.

To be honest, referring to the current #AirQualityAlert as the “Eh!pocalpse” is pretty funny. 🇨🇦 #ehpocalpse #CanadaFires

Watch out, New York City, just because the sky's not yellow, doesn't mean it's safe to be out, especially without a good mask.

Can’t believe “experts” are on the weather channel right now telling everyone to wear #N95 respirators outdoors while standing outdoors, NOT WEARING N95s, just holding them…
#PPE only works if you wear it! #WearARespirator and stay indoors!
