There are more than 400 toxins in wildfire smoke.

Wildfire season is typically July through November, but with climate change, we are seeing longer seasons with more dangerous wildfire emissions. Wildfire smoke can disperse far from the source, crossing many geographical boundaries. Even if you aren’t on evacuation notice, wildfires emit so much pollution that exposure to the smoky air is a global health concern. This program equips you with the tools you need to mitigate the effects of smoke and protect your health.

What You'll Learn:

  • Protection

    Inhalation of wildfire smoke can cause serious health problems. We'll show you how to limit your exposure to harmful toxins, purify your indoor air, and protect your respiratory system.
