PM2.5 and forest fires...
« on: June 07, 2023, 08:04:41 PM »
I thought I would share how the Canadian forest fires are affecting my local area in the States using the two PM sensors I have.
You can see what was rather normal, until the evening of the 6th where it shot up.  And I thought yesterday was bad....

Interestingly, you can see how opening a window in the early morning to get some fresh oxygen also polluted the house:

Guy on the news last night said he was reading PM2.5 in the 340's downtown Ottawa. The previous worst he saw was 80 right downtown during trucker invasion.

I work outside all day. N95 is a must. First day I felt half sick to my stomach and headache.

You folks out east have it bad. Here in Chicagoland  we have been smelling smoke from Michigan and Canada fires for some time now.
Last weekend things got bad.
