Air Quality!

Air Quality impacts us all differently! You may already be experiencing symptoms of poor air quality including headaches, mild coughing, increase in mucus (snot), or nose / throat / eye / sinus irritation.

If you have an air purifier in your home – now is the time to use it! Air purifiers work best when:

• The filter is clean - if you don’t have a replacement, try wiping out filter system with a dry rag or washing if filter system is made of water tolerant materials
• When rooms are sealed against external air (no open windows or doors)
• Placed in a central location within the room with easy air flow around entire unit (no placing on soft surfaces or locations where air intake is blocked)

If you are looking for a breath of fresh air – please come join us at the community buildings! Enjoy the AC, chat with fellow community members, and take a break from the wildfire smoke!

Serious, but less common symptoms associated with poor air quality include dizziness, wheezing, chest pains, severe cough, asthma attacks, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeat – if you experience any of these more serious symptoms, please seek urgent medical attention (hospitals, not our local health care centre).
