yellow warning - air quality - in effect Smoke is causing or expected to cause poor air quality and reduced visibility. Exposure to smoke can affect your health. Postpone or reduce strenuous outdoor activities until the warning has ended. Spend time indoors in a space with cleaner air. Some people are more likely to be negatively impacted by smoke. This includes people with lung and heart conditions, pregnant individuals, infants and young children, people aged 65 and older, and anyone whose health is affected by a chronic condition or acute illness. Tips to Reduce your Smoke Exposure Smoke levels may still be elevated indoors, so stay aware of your symptoms even when you are indoors. When indoors, keep windows and doors closed. If it is hot, prioritize keeping cool. Protect your indoor air from wildfire smoke. Use a clean, good quality air filter in your ventilation system and/or a certified portable air cleaner that can filter fine particles. Do-it-yourself air cleaners may also be used if other options are unavailable. For more details, see the BC Centre for Disease Control Do-it Yourself Air Cleaners fact sheet. If your home is smoky or hot, spend time in places with cleaner, air conditioned air such as community centres, libraries, or malls. If you must be outside, a well-constructed, well-fitting and properly worn respirator type mask (such as a NIOSH-certified N95 or equivalent respirator) can reduce your exposure to the fine particles in the smoke. Even though exposure may be reduced, there can still be risks to health. When in a vehicle, keep windows closed with the air flow (or air conditioning) set to recirculate. Check on others who are in your care or live nearby who may be more likely to be impacted by wildfire smoke. Always follow guidance from local authorities. ### Visit http://www.airhealth.ca for information on how to reduce your health risk and your personal contribution to pollution levels, as well as for current and forecast AQHI values.
