Episode Details

Wildfire smoke from Canada is choking Vermont again, turning skies hazy and pushing air quality into unhealthy territory—especially for kids, seniors, and those with heart or lung issues. Climate change is making these smoke events more frequent and intense, so knowing how to protect yourself is critical. Check real-time air quality via the EPA’s AirNow site and sign up for alerts. Tiny PM2.5 particles can sneak into your bloodstream, causing everything from irritated eyes to serious breathing problems. Stay indoors with windows shut, use recirculating AC, and wear N95 masks only if you must go outside. Shelters offer safe havens for those without homes. Long-term exposure may raise risks for respiratory, heart, and even cancer issues—so take precautions now to shield your health.
