"N95 Masks: Essential Protection Against COVID-19 and Wildfire Smoke"
Health experts recommend using N95 or KN95 masks to protect against both COVID-19 and wildfire smoke, as they are efficient at filtering out hazardous particles. Cloth masks are not as effective at filtering out wildfire smoke particles, but dual or triple-layer woven cotton masks with a center filtering layer can lower the risk. It is also recommended to stay indoors and use air purifiers with HEPA filters to reduce exposure to smoky air.
