Passage Text
When wildfire smoke drifts into populated valleys, public health officials advise residents to close windows, run portable air purifiers, and limit strenuous outdoor activity until conditions improve. Sensitive groups such as children, seniors, and those with respiratory conditions should monitor the air quality index daily. Wearing a well-fitted mask outdoors offers additional protection during severe smoke events.
