  1. The AQI is bad but not *that* bad today, but I have a splitting headache and my eyes are burning. There's a new fire just to the west of us and the smoke is blowing over into the valley.

    I had experienced plenty of bad AQI in the past but now I'm discovering the complexities of AQI -- smoky air, smoky smell, numbers on the chart, how I actually feel, all of which are related but not directly.

    I'm irritable because I wanted to go out for a hike today. 😠

  2. Here is why you should open your #windows whenever you can. On the left, is 2:05 PM when I’ve had the windows closed all day, the #CO2 levels in the house are high, indicating poor #ventilation. Now swipe to the right image, the levels have dropped to a third after leaving the windows open for over 2 hours, indicating excellent ventilation. High CO2 levels indoors can cause various #health issues including #tiredness, #headaches, #eye #irritation, #dizziness and/or #difficulty #concentrating, so please check your levels inside your house. I borrowed this CO2 monitor as well as an #AQI monitor from my local #library

  3. Easing back into #DoomAndGloom... The #AQI is awful here in #Maine /#NorthernNewEngland today... And it's predicted to be worse tomorrow! I did find that wearing a PM 2.5 filter mask is helping when I'm outside. When I forgot to wear a mask, I couldn't stay outside very long!
