Replying to @VHDsPlug ‼️IMPORTANT: while this is worrying, and it's important to take precautions too minimize risk, this whole thing is the biggest high risk for elderly folks and those with respiratory or cardiovascular diseases. Exposures on the order of hours or even days are going to have a temporary irritating effect but no real long term implications for those who are otherwise healthy. But it may cause short term irritation and even some impaired brain function. Wear a well fitted mask and get a good HEPA filter! #wildfire #wildfire2023 #wildfirecanada #canada #canadawildfire #airquality #airqualityalert #airqualityalert #newyorkcity #newyork #longisland #queensnyc #science
