How to Protect Yourself Indoors

Staying indoors is one of the best ways to limit exposure to wildfire smoke. Use air purifiers or set your air conditioning to recirculate to filter out toxins.

Keeping children indoors also reduces their exposure and limits physical activity, which can decrease the amount of particles they inhale.
