Editor's note: AllerAir has 49 air cleaners and air purifiers certified by the California Air Resources Board and eligible for sale in California. We specialize in air cleaners for smoke, chemicals and odors.
"If you have health concerns, are elderly, pregnant, or have a child in your care, consider talking with your doctor now about what to do if the air becomes smoky. Remember that in 2008 over 600,000 acres burned in this area and eight Hazardous Air Quality Alerts were issued.
Concentrations
of smoke will vary depending upon location, weather, and distance to
the fire. Smoke from wildfires and structure fires contain harmful
chemicals that can affect your health. Smoke can cause eye and throat
irritation, coughing, and difficulty breathing.
People who are
at greatest risk of experiencing symptoms due to smoke include young
children, pregnant women, older adults, and those with respiratory
disease such as asthma and/or heart disease. If you or members of your
family have lung or heart disease, contact your doctor immediately if
you have symptoms that get worse. Even healthy adults can be affected by
smoke. If you are in a wildfire prone area, consider buying an air
purifier to use in the event of smoky air.
Some air cleaners
can help reduce indoor pollutants if they are the right type and size
for your home. Air cleaners with ozone generators are not appropriate
for home use. The Air Resources Board recommends avoiding them. Ozone is
a gas that can cause health problems including lung irritation and
breathing difficulty. Go towww.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/residair.html for more information about aircleaners or air purifiers."
