Clean Air at Home: Wildfire Smoke & Poor-Air Days

The few things that make a measurable difference

Wildfire smoke now reaches homes hundreds of miles from any fire and can sit over a town for days. Clean Air at Home is about what a household can actually do: know when the air is bad, keep smoke out of the house, clean the air in one room, protect the people most affected, and buy the filters before they sell out.

It explains the Air Quality Index in plain terms, the right furnace filter and portable air cleaner, EPA's do-it-yourself box-fan air cleaner with its safety rules, which masks help and which don't, and how to set up a clean room. Drawn from EPA, AirNow, CDC, and state and local air agencies.
