Masks outdoors and air purifiers inside among recommended precautions
A Calgary respirologist is advising people to regularly check the outdoor air quality and stay inside as smoke from the Jasper wildfires blows into other parts of Alberta and possibly beyond.
He recommends using air purifiers, but says air conditioners can also act as air filters, or people can turn their furnaces on to the fan setting. Chee says if it’s not possible to purify the air at home, or if it’s too hot, another option is to head to an air-conditioned space such as a mall or library.
People with lung or heart conditions, children, seniors and pregnant women are at highest risk when the air quality is bad, Chee said.
