Marc Chenard, a meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center, said satellite imagery shows a broad swath of #smoke still covering the eastern US on Wednesday. The smoke stretches from northern #Georgia to #NewEngland & into the Upper #Midwest.

#AirQuality readings in cities including #Minneapolis, #StPaul & #Columbus, #Ohio, were at “very unhealthy” levels… acc/to the NYT air quality tracker.

People can protect themselves by staying indoors or by wearing #N95masks, she said. Strykowski added that they must be N95s because the cloth #masks many people used during the COVID-19 pandemic don’t provide enough #filtration.

[My additional advice: be sure to always carry your rescue #inhaler!! If you can use an allergy #filter on your HVAC system. Close your windows & use an indoor air filter machine.]

Dr. Rachel Strykowski, a #pulmonologist, said the poor #AirQuality increases #respiratory symptoms aggravated by the dirty #air. Typical symptoms include increase in shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, & flares of underlying #disease such as #COPD & #asthma.

The fine particulate matter from the #wildfire #smoke triggers more inflammation in patients’ airways, aggravating underlying #medical conditions.

#Smoke from #wildfires in #Canada carried another day of poor #AirQuality south of the border to the #Midwest, where conditions in parts of #Minnesota, #Wisconsin & #Michigan were rated “very unhealthy” Tuesday.

The fires have forced more than 27,000 Canadians in three provinces to flee their homes, & the smoke has even reached #Europe.

@alienghic @ai6yr Norovirus, too, is ripping through the population as though we were all on a cruise ship. The comments here suggest why: social support including architecture and simple public health training are overlooked in favor of “convenience.” Handwashing adequately, plumbing design, ventilation, stay-home-when-you’re-sick guides and restaurant inspections are just a few examples. Thanks, community.
