That… seems… bad

Is it safe to go outdoors right now if I wear my N95?

@mcc N95 will prob keep ash out of your lungs. But if there's any man-made constructs also burning in the wildfires, you also have to worry about toxic fumes.

Aside: would be good to have an air purifier with HEPA filter indoors, as well.

@hyc I'm running the air purifier I have indoors. i am trying to figure out if the purifiers i have are enough or if i also need to get my CR box out of storage.

@mcc @hyc At that level of smoke your air purifier will eventually not be able to keep up.

when it got bad here we could at best keep it at a 7 inside 10 outside (coverted from us aqi). So yes more purifier better.
