Helpful hint for those with breathing problems due to smoke

[Timetrvlr]

Buy some air purifiers and use them when it's really smoky. We have three and have another one on order because we are in heavy smoke and falling ash from local forest fires. They really help too as my wife has bad COPD and I have allergies.

Be sure to buy round ones as they have much more filter area. Buy large units because most inexpensive units are only for small rooms. The best selection I've found are on Amazon.

I have run an air cleaner in my bedroom for 30 years. Hoping the fires burn out. I live in the west and know how bad they can be.

We had a smoky summer a year or so ago

It cools in the evenings here

Most economical we found was a box fan in the window at night
with a furnace filter duct taped to it
