After the wildfires, the air pollution is serious. What should we do?

After the wildfires, when the air pollution is serious, we can take the following measures to protect our health:

1. Avoid going out: Stay indoors as much as possible while ensuring safety, especially when the air quality index (AQI) is high.

2. Close doors and windows: Keep the indoor air fresh and prevent smoke from seeping in.

3. Use an air purifier: If conditions permit, use an air purifier with a HEPA filter to help filter particulate matter in the air.

4. Wear a mask: If you must go out, choose a suitable mask (such as N95 or KN95) to effectively prevent the inhalation of particulate matter.

5. Pay attention to air quality: Check the local air quality report regularly to understand the real-time situation and avoid going out when the pollution is serious.

6. Maintain indoor humidity: Moderately increasing indoor humidity can help reduce particulate matter in the air.

7. Drink enough water: Keeping the body hydrated can help reduce respiratory irritation.

8. Seek medical help: If you experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing and worsening cough, seek medical advice and treatment in time.

9. Pay attention to the news: Keep in touch with the local government or relevant agencies to learn about the latest situation and official guidance of the wildfire.

The above measures can effectively reduce the impact of air pollution caused by wildfires on physical health.
