My unmaksed colleague, with a heart condition and undiagnosed Long COVID, saying to me (re: #FireSmoke):
"I know I shouldn't go out but I don't want to waste these $70 concert tickets"...
... just breaks my heart on so many levels. 💔

It's sad that we have this, but we've had this for the last few years.
You can track current #forestfires across #Canada and the movement of the #firesmoke you'll be choking on at this site.

Don't worry folks, it's mild #wildfire smoke and you only have to worry if you're in a high risk group or have a preexisting condtion.
/////
"People more likely to be impacted by wildfire smoke, including people aged 65 and older, pregnant people, infants and young children, people with an existing illness or chronic health condition, and people who work outdoors, should reduce or reschedule strenuous activities outdoors and seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms."

For the fifth day in a row, we're starting the day with the official air quality measurement (AQHI) for my area of Toronto saying "5 or Moderate Risk"
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, moderate risk means:
"No need to modify your usual outdoor activities unless you experience symptoms such as coughing and throat irritation."
But according to my personal air quality device, particulate matter levels are dangerously high.
"Air is Polluted. Air quality is poor, and you may experience symptoms such as coughing and throat irritation. The pollution may cause breathing discomfort on prolonged exposure, and discomfort to people with heart disease or asthma. Try not to stay in the environment for a long period of time."
"Try not to stay in the environment for a long period of time.." Vs. "No need to modify your usual outdoor activities..."
I guess what they *really* mean is: "no need to disrupt your contribution to capitalism" while we slowly choke the life out of you.

It is a very #FireSmoke filled start to the day. I've been outside for maybe 2-minutes and my eyes feel a bit itchy and throat feels a bit irritated.

Welcome to the first smoke day of the year in #YEG, I’m sure it won’t be the last.
This plume of smoke comes from intense wildfires in northeastern BC, and is brought to you courtesy of every regressive petrostate province that wants to burn it all down as long as there’s profit to be made.

‘Fraudulent, broken instrument’: Why our measurements don’t capture the true risks of wildfire smoke
The Air Quality Health Index is a tool developed by the federal government with input from provinces and other stakeholders to inform Canadians on the risk of poor air quality in their area

No reprieve from the #FireSmoke this morning. Air quality already extremely poor. What a bummer.

The air in #Ottawa smells a bit like Taiwan when I lived there 20 years ago. #FireSmoke but with a weird heavy metals undertone

Oh crap, the smoke is back!! I was just getting used to clean-ish air. Sigh, shutting the windows again. 😭
