The Impact of Wildfire Smoke on Health and Outdoor Activities

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is advising people to avoid outdoor activities due to dense wildfire smoke in the area. To protect indoor air quality, individuals are seeking remedies such as air purifiers and furnace filters, which are in high demand. People with asthma and C.O.P.D. are particularly vulnerable to the effects of the smoke and should take precautions. Experts recommend keeping doors and windows closed, changing air filters regularly, and using the air recirculation button in cars.
