Wind, dust, and fires across a swath of the country creating some pretty bad air. Waco's is downright dangerous.

Southern Ontario and the Sudbury area are being hit hard by fine PM associated with wildfire smoke.

CR Boxes and HEPA air cleaners will lower levels in homes. N95 respirators will help while outdoors. More information: 👇

EPA still has a good AirNow app that can provide good info about current conditions.

Air quality has become one of my special interests and after doing a deep dive into information about it, I’ve only gotten more and more frustrated how little public education or urgency there is. I use the EPA’s AirNow app but any warnings we do get is paltry at best. I’ll thread some recs below 👇

suboptimal!!!

Wildfire smoke is more or less covering North America right now, and air quality in parts of Alberta is dipping into "very unhealthy" range

i checked the airnow dot gov site and looked at the fire map and apparently there are a lot of fires in a lot of states

For anyone tracking the LA fires, I have found AirNow really useful, as it shows updated locations of the actual burn area and air quality in the same map:

Highly recommend the EPA AirNow app. And fully funding the EPA and NWS/NOAA.
Stay inside or seriously mask up STL. These particles are bad bad for your lungs. #stlwx #stlsky #stlcitysc

does anyone in #Oakland/#SanFrancisco/#BayArea know why the air is so bad today? (PurpleAir has us listed as in the orange-to-red, although AirNow lists us as in the yellow.)

I do not know why the private Purple Air website that wants to sell you stuff has a more alarming map than the EPA AirNow.gov site. But AirNow sensors are calibrated & the EPA shows you their data

Well, indeed , Airnow is reporting pretty bad air quality through the Midwest

(BTW, thanks to EPA for making these maps publicly available so folks like me can make quick assessment of the situation on Saturday AM)

I honestly imagined Sec. Rollins savvy enough to leave R&D be.

Here’s an R&D product that’s touched countless lives across the U.S.— the AirNow fire & smoke map.

Whether R&D scientists exist to help, or not— our nation WILL be grappling with tough R&D issues.

USFS R&D teamed w/ the EPA to develop AirNow.gov Fire and Smoke Map in 2020. The online tool and mobile app snapshots air quality and smoke impacts nationwide. Millions of people use the tool, highlighted by the White House in 2021 as a key source of public information for air and smoke conditions.

You can see the smoke in the air in Ann Arbor today
