To anyone living in an area with heavy wildfire smoke air pollution, please buy or make an air purifier and stay inside or wear raspatory protection outside.
A single hour of heavy smoke inhalation can dramatically increase your risk of heart failure, stroke, bronchitis, and other health issues - particularly if you are already in an at-risk category (a fat burger-munching American).
Take this from a Canadian who has to deal with this every year.
If stores are sold out of air purifiers and you do not already own one, you can make your own - just search for instructions to make a Corsi-Rosenthal Box.
that's good but it doesn't even have to be that complicated. Just leaning a filter up behind a fan helps.
You can just tape one to the rear of the fan. Purchase a thicker filter if you want more flow (but you don't need much to be effective).
You'll be shocked how quickly that gets clogged with smoke when it's bad.
is there a cheaper way to do this. those filters add up lol
This, the box design is moronic. This works a lot better. I used to live in oregon, made them a few times..
>is there a cheaper way to do this
Yep. Just get a couple of primary air filters off something like a cat 330D, they have pic related.
Guys throw them away every 250hrs typically.
Get two. Blow them out with an air gun. For a home application, just hose them out, from the inside out. Put your fan between the two, sucking in one, blowing out the other. They don't actually reach peak efficiency until they've got a bit of dust on them, so as long as you're not blowing out a shit ton of dust, you'll be fine. I can't remember the air flow/min these handle, but it'll be more than adequate for what you want to achieve.
I used to use the mining truck ones for rubbish bins in my office, but they're harder to come by for the average person. Just find a person that works on 30t diggers or similar and ask for a couple, I doubt they'd even ask for a beer in return.
>1 hour of tree smoke would kill an american
If you have kids, cancel all of their outdoor events and have them stay inside. Children and the elderly are particularly at risk.
I picture most Americans as wheezing dotards already. Gotta help keep those republican voters alive somehow.
>muh smokevid 19
>stay inside!!
have a nice day homosexual
>400+ aqi
do you also condone smoking a pack of cigarettes per hour?
only if youre not a turbo homosexual which you obviously are
Yes only turbo homosexuals care about kids getting lung cancer or 50 other things because their parents are moronic.
Stop being a moron.
If you want to speedrun health issues that's on you, but the leaf wasn't wrong about keeping the kids in.
>staaaaaay indooooors
I would like for you to run around your neighborhood all day.
But yea, don't kill the kids homosexual.
I can tell you don't have any anyways.
i have 6 kids with 2 different women homosexual and one of them is your mom
I know it's fake because you brag about it.
But seriously, stop being a bunch of morons.
They psyoped you into hearing mask and going batshit.
I need my contractors to live longer than 40, damn right I want them in N95s with 400+ api.
If anyone has their kids out in it, they are moronic.
>I want them in N95s
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/07/us/masks-wildfire-smoke-air-quality.html
Stunning and brave! You are a hero for following the guidelines brought to you by the experts you should trust and never question.
You are still being moronic.
You know I'm not wrong.
This is a clear and visible threat that can be read by you with a handheld device.
This isn't some gay cold.
Smoke WILL frick you up.
The good part about this is that you can see the problem.
>n95
fricking moron. buy them p100 then. Black person
captcha: nggah
Yes. Keep your kids locked inside, teach them that they should avoid being outdoors at all costs and that Nature is a dangerous force trying to kill them because of climate change.
Years of public education in just a couple of weeks. Genius!
It's not climate change you fricking moron, it's the 400+ api.
Put out the fires and kill the ones starting them.
>It's not climate change
Umm, sweety, abcnews just debunked this.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/canadas-wildfires-air-quality-warnings-connected-climate-change/story?id=99905554
Follow the guidelines laid out by your local authorities and experts. We can fight climate change but only if we all work together. So, lock your kids in their rooms (don't forget the mask) and only get them out when bringing them to health experts.
I see your point, but 400+ api will actually frick them (and us) up.
I don't see a better solution than to put them out and (legally) kill the ones starting them.
>400+ api
Ok, sarcasm aside. The media is again riling something up that isn't that big of a deal. Yes, it's not clean air and yes, it's not exactly healthy to deeply breath in wildfire smoke. But it's just moronic that every outlet is sperging out and using the virus narrative to trick the people into the same thing they did before: The outside is dangerous and will slowly kill you. Don't inject that fear into children or you are a worse monster than those fricking arsonist.
Remember that everyone on this board experienced the second most intense volcanic eruption after Krakatau and the media did nothing about it? Ask yourself why.
I see you only want to protect you and your loved ones. Don't mind me, it's just banter.
What's pissing me off the most is that I see your point completely.
This time they just so happened to use a real threat.
I'm pissed at them, not you.
It is interesting to see the effects Agenda 21 had against using masks though.
I'm sure ~~*they*~~ will try to capitalize on that.
i use rated masks everyday at work. a little bit of smoke is nothing. its not like its going to be this bad forever. pussy homosexual
You are young and dumb.
Some guys have to work outside in that shit all day with nothing.
You have no idea how bad it really is.
>You have no idea how bad it really is.
yes i do moron. i live in alberta we were smoked the frick out a couple weeks ago. it was bad but not as bad as you want it to be because youre a pussy and a homosexual
You are thinking very short term.
I need you to stop being so moronic.
I like that you just trust that it's normal smoke too, which at 400+ aqi would frick you up by itself.
i already lived through it. pussy. homosexual.
Go run around the block a few times man, seems you have some anger you need to get out.
Take nice deep breaths.
Call me in 10 years.
No Refunds.
>Go run around the block a few times man, seems you have some anger you need to get out.

not everyone is a little b***h like you
>I'm pissed at them, not you.
I know, Anon. That's why I mocked you with the news articles. I want to encourage all around me to use their brains instead of calculating a "risk" of off charts presented by the exact international rootless clique that spawned the experts for other bullshit. It's just so obvious. And I'm in fear for the children that have to now go through another episode of hysteria, even though I'm on another landmass. By the way, did you heard about the massive fire we have in the north-east? No? Good. It hurts their narrative.
That being said, all the best for you and your loved ones!
Thanks for picturing us. We don't even think about you.
it's not a fun experience even if you are fit
You’ll never experience this because you have zero trees or nature remaining in Netherlands
If you need to go outside, wear an N-95 or better that can filter particulate matter down to 2.5 microns.
Close all of your windows and switch your AC to recirculate. Make sure that the filter in your AC is not out of date (you will probably need to replace it sooner than usual after smoke passes).
>Make sure that the filter in your AC is not out of date
i brought up my A/C unit and knew there was SOMETHING i forgot to do.
thanks mang
Frick off leaf
A dirty filter, filters better due to being more restrictive.
Kys moron
it is most likely caused by humans. cigarettes thrown out of cars cause a lot of wildfires.
Antifa started the fires. They were all lit at the same time according to satellite video. They did this to push the green new deal spending plan in a criminal conspiracy with AOC.
pretty hazy in nogfolk virginia, definite smell, eyes burning a bit along with a little coughing. not bad but glad i can get inside
coughing is just the short term effect. chronic conditions can develop from prolonged exposure. I feel bad for anyone who has to work outside and is not used to smoke. It's ok if you wear an N95 and are in good shape, but otherwise it is seriously dangerous.
It's kind of like getting heavy snow in some place that rarely gets snow. There are far more accidents and deaths than there should be since no one knows how to deal with it properly.
>caring about strangers
it's a Canadian thing, you wouldn't understand
Don't forget myocarditis and blood clots.
When you say "is not used to smoke" is it implying that coming into contact with light amounts of smoke might make your body better able to deal with it? As opposed to going from 0 to 100?
I want to feel like the my single daily cigarette might help me. But it's just a cope 🙁
It's not good for you, but allegedly people would smoke a menthol cigarette before a timed run to improve performance.
~~*They*~~ were pushing really hard to ban menthols recently too, they allegedly can keep your lungs cleared out.
Nothing is helpful in excess though.
>my single daily cigarette might help me.
Come back when you go through two lighters a day, sissy.
One of my favorite Hick's bits.
"You know how all the packs have all different labels on them? Just don't get the ones that say lung cancer! Shop around!" (Paraphrased, I'm sure he was funnier then that)
Thankfully my pack just has "may complicate pregnancy" on them so I think I'm good!
Lol no, I mean used to it as in used to dealing with heavy snowfall in the winter. You are prepared, know what precautions to take, and aren't surprised when it happens.
Where's that air-quality map from?
nm, literally like the next post
thx
https://www2.purpleair.com
It tops out at 500, where in the frick is that 502?
The highest I've seen is 460 in Elizabeth, NJ.
Shit is fricked.
Long Beach NY is getting rekt right now.
The official is 282, max on the other one is around 300.
Weird, Elizabeth, NJ was at an official 460 though so it's definitely fricked up over that way.
Yeah, I am on Wrong Island and we got it pretty bad over here. Yet I still seen some people doing yardwork. I get not wanting to be trapped, but this os not a govt to be trusted.
I'm near there visiting for a weekend. This is what it looks like outside for me.
I wouldn't be outside more than needed in that.
These numbers are way fricked up.
This is the kind of shit that you need a mask for no joke, not some gay cold.
Agreed. Stay safe Jerseybro.
You only want to wear masks that filter out smoke. Smoke goes straight through most masks people carry these days which may make it more difficult to breathe than maskless.
N95s will do fine, but yea no moronic single sheet "masks"
>502
That’s roughly Easton PA/Lehigh Valley.
Nog map?
>New York and New Jersey getting directly shit on the most
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>anti-Semitic smoke
Good lord Canada is gassing the israelites. Oy Vey.
I'm at 0. Is 0 bad? Should I be worried with a green zero?
my fault for not including a scale
>Should I be worried with a green zero?
Depends on your desired outcome.
Anyway, look out the window, you tell us.
These pride flags are really getting out of hand.
First the Ohio train chemicals and now this. rip NY.
some readings are over 400? that's fricking insane.
here in CT it has doubled since last night. where is the panic? they panicked about an imaginary flu but now there is a literal deadly threat to health and they're treating it like nothing.
All part of the psyop against masks.
I expect all the glowBlack folk to know me, and know how much I hate them because they are promoting destroying this country with degeneracy.
however, here is the official EPA reading of Syracuse earlier.
What's this map?
it is from a website called IQAir. There are a number of private and public air quality monitoring resources out there.
me on the right
>Live an hour away from the most fire filled blob
>Air quality Moderate
lmfao
That entire blob is over a hundred kilometer wide by the way
Smoke goes up then, depending on wind may settle in the area or get blown somewhere else.
>raspatory
Kys Chang
ring-a ching ching mry nee-gah
my idiot dad decides now when air quality is worst he wants home cooked baked ziti and corn muffins.
mmm, ash flavor
>wear the mask chuds
Just close the windows for the day you fricking tards
Run the shower with cold water from as high up as possible into the bathtub, water clears the air from particles while falling down, if the air inside feels bad
Stop being hypochondriacs, this is just wood and leaves burning, really far away.
yes and 2.5 micron particles from woodsmoke are smaller than most other air contaminants that people encounter and thus get deeper into the lungs. NYC literally has the worst air quality in the world right now out of any major city. Here in Canada, people wear N95s every year if they have to work outside in the annual smoke or when they evacuate from a region. This has happened since before COVID was even a thing.
>woodsmoke makes you ill
>people have been sitting around wood fires since half a million years
I think if it was that bad we'd know by now.
>a fricking leaf
Smoke from a single fire is not the same. Have you ever tried to have a campfire indoors without ventilation? That would be worse, but this is not much better. There is nowhere to vent to since all of the air outside is contaminated.
Try sitting in a cloud of smoke from a small woodfire for a week straight with constant smoke around you and see how you feel.
Fire inside kills you due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Meanwhile those fires are hundreds of miles away, all the volatile gasses have long since been diluted into nothing, all that's left is the particles which are just fine wood ash, nothing the body can't easily take care of.
Uh, yeah the smoke typically rises and doesn't blow right in your face. Ever said white rabbit white rabbit?
i just dug picrel out
im in Western PA so its not gonna hit me until tomorrow
Is it gonna be like NYC in Pittsburgh tomorrow?
>Is it gonna be like NYC in Pittsburgh tomorrow?
idk, i watched the 2 day forecast, looks like the worst is coming Friday
>better be p100 Black person
the filter on the bottom right filter is p100
>make sure the filters aren't expired or anything
filters are israeli and expired but i hear they are still good
>Also if you have facial hair it wont seal properly which is obvious. I'm trying to pull my beard to the sides to help seal but it isn't really working, and I'm sacrificing my health for vanity... I would recommend against that.
i keep a tight trim, so no issue for me.
yeah, and there is a mouthpiece inside the gas mask to suck stuff through
better be p100 Black person
Smart guy. I've looked into those types of masks before but it's been years so my knowledge might be a bit rusty, make sure the filters aren't expired or anything.
I think it's old soviet surplus filters where you can straight up inhale asbestos or something, idk if other filters use similar materials or something.
Also if you have facial hair it wont seal properly which is obvious. I'm trying to pull my beard to the sides to help seal but it isn't really working, and I'm sacrificing my health for vanity... I would recommend against that.
Is that small cap on the LH side of pic a cap so you can put a straw in?
Would look pretty badass if you tinted the lenses.
Question. Does Canada actually have a forestry service?
No. There's talk of forming one now.
wut. there is one and each province has their own ministerial department as well. It's not nearly as active as the US forest service though afaik
Yeah I'm moronic I was thinking of this article I read yesterday https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/an-ounce-of-prevention-is-worth-a-pound-of-cure-experts-say-a-national-fire-service-could-help-battle-wildfires-1.6430461
Huh - not surprised to see that they are under-resourced. Truedope is too busy spending billions on oil sands and pipelines.
imagine the decline of obesity once they start dying from intoxication
arson isn't wildfire, israelite.
I'm in Philadelphia and I'm going to pack up my cats and camping gear into the car and head somewhere? Where can i go?
see
or
and look for areas that are better. weather conditions may change though so you will want to look at forecasts as well.
California unironically. It's very green and lush here right now since we've had tons of rain this year.
have a nice day for living in Philadelphia
Penny Pack Park
Horrible idea
Maine has a rating of zero. It's been raining, lightly, since Saturday.
My Covid mask will protect me! If it can keep out the miniscule covid virus, it can certainly keep out smoke particles!!
No a medical mask can't keep out woodsmoke or covid. An N95 is literally for working in these kinds of conditions. If you are not in a risk category healthwise you probably don't need one, but if you are working all day in this then you probably want one. People have been using these for that purpose since before COVID.
It's like refusing to buy a snow shovel because it never snows where you live (until now) and your neighbor only ever uses his snow shovel to pick up dog shit. It's snowing. Buy a shovel.
This guy is right. It's super dangerous. Don't go outside, keep all your doors and windows closed. Keep your house a safe zone from the smoke and don't let the air mix. And definitely do not do any exercise outside. Thankfully BC is real good right now with no smoke, but it wasn't like that in the past.
Too late. Already spent all day yesterday outside working in this shit.
I was literally just outside in a “hazardous” area and didn’t even notice a difference
You won't in the short term other than just a smell of smoke. Maybe if you exercise hard then you get more tired or out of breath faster. Maybe even a bit of light coughing or an unusual runny nose. The danger is the longer-term issues.
Also, these maps are based on averages from single-point monitoring stations so it may vary from place to place.
See
>Also, these maps are based on averages from single-point monitoring stations so it may vary from place to place.
So it’s the same skewed-measurement fear mongering as temperature measurements in cities
Well in a way, but Meteorology is a discipline that can somewhat predict weather patterns based on historical data, active monitoring, and geographical analysis. The active monitoring stations work in tandem with analyzing larger weather patterns like wind direction and high/low pressure zones.
No, it's bad.
then maybe tell your fascist government to stop using helicopters to start the fires on purpose?? just a thought...
>long term issues
If there were long term issues, they'd tell everyone to go outside and not bother wearing a mask. This is clearly just a climate lockdown in its beginning stage.
Get back to me when you AQIs are in the 400s like Seattle was last year. Work wasn't canceled, everybody was still heading in. People were out bicycling, jogging, and generally conducting business as normal.
Why is everybody in the north east so neurotic. It's just some smoke. Unless you are weak and feeble it wont hurt you, just stay calm and continue with your day like normal.
My concern is this coming back to haunt us in the form of "wildfire smoke".
Oh well. Your half of the country is an industrialized shithole. You made your bed, lay in it. Do not come out west, we have had it with you frickers.
I get the sentiment. I want out of this country, not to relocate to another shithole within it.
You wish. We don't have any industry at all anymore.
Last time I was in Manhattan I saw refineries in NJ just belching black smoke into the air. You seem to have more than you can responsibly handle still.
You know, it really was nice out here up until about 20 years ago when wave after wave of northest blowhards came in and fricked everything up. Guilty as charged, the west is a shithole now. Credit where it is due, you frickers took advantage of us being mellow and welcoming and caused the destruction.
that's just the average NJ smoke break
>we are all one person
Your israelite politicians sold you out. Your altruism is your own undoing.
microparticles don't care how big your balls are, you can't actively sense the long-term impact exposure to things like this has on your body.

smells like campfire. its comfy
alberta was smoked the frick out and there was 1 thread about it. now theres a little smoke out east and you eastern north american fricking pussies make tens of threads. homosexual Black folk
I live in a neighborhood of the #164 marker in MA. It flew over my house, in fact. Everything's fine, I actually have no idea what you're talking about (ok, I have a guess, but there's no indication of anything like that, here, except a continuing psyop)

It looks like that poor dog has mange. Take it to a vet you irresponsible cretin.
Look up Air Quality Index and then cross reference as much as you want.
~~*EPA*~~ shoots low, but handhelds can detect this, so they can't really lie.
It's a shepherd in summer. They shed like motherfrickers. Touch grass and maybe you'd know. He's just poofy on his ass because that's the only spot he doesn't let me brush and I don't push him on it, because I didn't raise no homosexual dog.

Hello fellow Interior BC anon.
Can staying indoors prevent breathing in the bad shit? Or are we fricked regardless. NJ btw
Yes, staying inside is what you absolutely should do if you are in this area. You need an air purifier as well -look in the OP for the other tips like closing windows, recirculating air, etc. Go outside as little as possible and wear a properly fitted N95 mask if you do.
Guys you can just use a cheap cloth or paper mask. It was enough to stop covid, which is significantly smaller than smoke particles, so will be enough for the current wildfire smog.
It's all a distraction. The smoke, the wildfires, the train crashes, the weather balloons, the Tornadoes, all that shit is just news conspiracies to scrub Future President Kanye West's election campaign.
Check out everyone who ignored Washington, Oregon, and Cali the last 5 years suddenly get interested in air quality.
Those homosexuals went defcon over 350, I've seen an official 460 today.
watch some greedy fricks in congress make a new tax so we have to pay canada to control their fires
>we have to pay canada to control their fires
We already are. I bet these guys are just "observing" with a few cases of NZ funded PBR.
Oh well, if you can get the system to work for you, why not?
they should at least get yuengling.
just wanted to stop caring about it, just wanted to act normal for a bit.
these wienersucking homosexuals just can't stop being moronic.
now they have to be obvious too.
>they should at least get yuengling.
Now I think about it, seeing they're from Otago it's almost certain they threw in some Speight's and Emerson's. Probably Speight's because it comes in cans, lighter to fly, and Otago is staunch Speight country. They WERE both local, but I believe investigation will lead to Mitsubishi.
Actual local beer costs a fortune here now.
At least our beer ads never lost direction.

Based, I went to king kullen and prepped. Got a shitloadnof drop plastic and duct tape. Sealing everything up now...got about 4 weeks worth of food and lots of booze... legit cant even see my mailbox. It's like that move the mist.
Done sealed up the doors. The windows. The attic tables. Everything is sealed. Air inside is clean
Comfy lockdown time. Already told my employer I wasn't coming in until the smoke is gone. See you guys on the 4th july
I'm gonna need you to strap up an N95 and get out to Queens for me on overtime.
Nope. They are gonna UPS me my puter and I am remote.
I have asthma, tho this smoke isnt all that bad, I just dont want to go into work
You seem ok, don't go outside in the northeast tomorrow.
notice how the media totally doesn't give a shit. im indoors with my windows closed and my eyes hurt. I'm in Danbury, CT where the air quality is 293. last night i thought it was bad at 160.
if this keeps up it WILL kill thousands of people.
Kill all Canadians
