Canada #WildfireSmoke to be a periodic problem into August across #Midwest, #Northeast
Prevailing winds will direct more wildfire smoke from western #Ontario into the Midwest and Northeast often well into August. Needed rain to put out the fires may be scarce.
By Alex Sosnowski, Jul 20, 2026
Excerpt: " Hundreds of large wildfires are burning across Canada and the United States.
"There are 809 active #wildfires in #Canada, according to the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System. To date this year, there have been 3,575 fires that have burned 2.7 million hectares.
"Even more fires have burned across the #US. 'So far this year, 40,771 fires have burned more than 3.9 million acres across the United States,' according to the (U.S.) National Interagency Fire Center newsroom. 'Fires in the Northwest and the fires in northern Minnesota pose the greatest demand for firefighting resources. Resource assignments are being prioritized based on life and property risk, operational impact, and probability of success.' "

If you have information or resources you would like to share--anything like info about a local mask bloc in North America, a clean air program your city government runs, a safe location with a good HVAC system where people can get out of smoky air, or even things like tree-planting programs and more long-term ways to locally combat climate change and improve air quality, please feel free to share it with me either here on Mastodon or via this Cryptpad form: https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/3/form/view/03ab8efd32850a3d5d5c376d39ed0284/ I'll add the information to both the doc and the site as soon as I can.

An Easy-to-Build #CorsiRosenthalBox Using Modular #PCFan Systems
Jim Rosenthal
October 21, 2023
"The first Corsi-Rosenthal Box was built in August of 2020. It was presented as an #OpenSource' concept so that as many people as possible could have low-cost cleaner, safer indoor air. It is based on sound engineering principles, but it is really very simple. Use 4 (or 5) MERV 13 filters in a 'box' configuration with a box fan. The best thing is – it works! Consequently, many thousands have been made all over the world.
It has also been very enjoyable to see the continuous stream of ingenuity, creativity, and knowledge that has been expended to create a 'better' Corsi-Rosenthal Box. Much of this was out of necessity since many countries in the world do not have the same filters and fans as we have in North America. Many really smart and creative people have developed designs of the CR Box concept that work with the fans and filters available in their countries.
We have also had many people in North America who have contributed to the development of a “better mousetrap” of a DIY air cleaner. For effectiveness and low cost, it is very hard to beat the original box fan and “box” of filters design. But there have been many interesting modifications that have been shown to provide some real benefits. The most interesting of these is the use of PC fans to replace the box fan. The PC fans have the advantages of low noise and low energy usage but are not as economical or as easy to construct.
Here is another alternative – modular PC fan systems. A company by the name of AC Infinity (www.acinfinity.com) makes them. Their primary uses are for audio-visual cabinets and indoor horticulture. However, they provide low noise, high air flow and low power usage. In other words, they should work for Corsi-Rosenthal boxes. My initial tests confirm this conclusion. "
Note: I am not finding the fans on the AC Infinity website. I have found computer fans that can do the job on eBay and Amazon.

Just finished adding a page for Canada: https://wildfiresmokeresources.neocities.org/Canada
Currently only have resources for Montréal and London, as well as one (excellent) national resource. (Thank you to whoever submitted the FireSmoke.ca link today!) I'll be focused on getting all the info I currently have for the US added to the site over the next couple days, but after that will spend more time seeking out Canadian mask blocs and other resources.
If you have a resource you'd like to share for Canada (or anywhere else in North America), you can send it to me here on Mastodon via replies or DM, or submit it via this Cryptpad form: https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/3/form/view/03ab8efd32850a3d5d5c376d39ed0284/

Going to do an experiment with PM2.5 in the car.
Outside is currently at around 100 ug/m^3. I have a Qingping Air Monitor LIte that’s reading 20 uq/m^3 indoors. I don’t know how accurate it is but we can go with that.
The car is a Corolla; it has a cabin air filter but I would assume it’s pretty basic stuff. I also have a portable QT3 air purifier I'm going to be running.
How to Build a #CorsiRosenthalBox

"Richard L. Corsi, dean of the UC Davis College of Engineering, explains how to build a #CorsiRosenthal box. Dr. Corsi is an internationally recognized expert in the field of indoor air quality, with a specific interest in physical and chemical interactions between pollutants and indoor materials. His concept for a low-cost, accessible, and effective air cleaner, the Corsi-Rosenthal box, is now being used as an open-source do-it-yourself approach worldwide for reducing exposure to the #SARSCoV-2 virus, #WildfireSmoke and more."

#DIY box fan filters – #CorsiRosenthal box
"Also known as a Corsi-Rosenthal box, this DIY method of building your own air filter with #MERV13 furnace filters and a box fan are an easy and cost-effective way to help clear indoor air from airborne virus particles, wildfire smoke, pollen, dust, and more!
If you can seal a box, you can build one (or 100!) of these!"

Do-It-Yourself #AirCleaners: Making Cleaner Air More Accessible
Published September 6, 2023
"Everyone should have the right to breathe clean air. However, during wildfires, the cost and availability of clean air technologies and reliable power sources can create challenges for people trying to protect their health from wildfire smoke. Recognizing these barriers, EPA and other health, environmental, and nonprofit organizations have provided instructions and materials for creating do-it-yourself (#DIY) air cleaners. DIY air cleaners are a more affordable and accessible alternative to commercial versions and can be constructed using a box fan and a high-efficiency home air filter. Securing the filter to the fan creates an effective, simple air cleaning system.
"This DIY solution filters out smoke particles and improves indoor air quality, but its use has raised key questions about the devices’ safety and effectiveness. EPA scientists and their colleagues are conducting research to answer these questions.
" 'This research was highly anticipated, particularly by EPA’s western regions, who have suffered from terrible wildfire smoke for years without the ability to recommend more affordable air filtering options to the public,' noted Meredith Bauer, Assistant Director of EPA Region 9’s Air and Radiation Division. 'It is important that we develop tools that allow everyone to protect themselves and their families when wildfire smoke is in the air.' "

#AirQuality plummets in #Boston, #Toronto as thick wildfire smoke shrouds the sky for millions
Smoke from wildfires burning in Ontario have caused air quality to reach unhealthy levels across #Canada, and the northeastern and midwestern United States. And it could get worse before conditions improve.
By Brian Lada, Jul 15, 2026
Excerpt: "Toronto had some of the worst air quality in North America on Wednesday morning, reaching 'very unhealthy' levels with an AQI of 220. 'Health effects will be immediately felt by sensitive groups and should avoid outdoor activity,' Plume Labs said. 'Healthy individuals are likely to experience difficulty breathing and throat irritation.'
"In Boston, air quality reached 'unhealthy' conditions on Wednesday morning with an AQI of 147. Little improvement is expected in the city into Thursday. "
