Special Note regarding air quality

There are currently wildfires in Canada that have caused hazardous air quality levels in a lot of major cities. With this ongoing issue, I wanted to make a post with a few things you can do to help keep yourself safe.

NYC June 2023

• Stay indoors as much as possible

• Invest in a good mask for times you have to go out - preferably N95, but anything is better than nothing

• Check on your friends, family, and neighbors who have lung and health issues, are elderly or have children - particularly young children and babies! Check with them frequently and make sure they have access to emergency services and have an emergency plan.

• Invest in a quality indoor air filter or create a DIY one if it's not financially feasible.

• Change your air filter on your indoor air conditioning and heating systems regularly and consider upgrading the filters to some that filter out smaller particles

• Track air quality and air quality alerts through sites and apps like IQair.

Hope this is helpful and everyone stays safe!
