Actions to Protect Health on Poor Air Quality Days

Here are some actions to protect health on poor air quality days:

• Sensitive populations should remain indoors.
• People in general should avoid strenuous activities and limit the amount of time they are active outdoors.
• If you work outdoors, take more breaks indoors.
• If an air conditioner is available, run it while keeping the fresh-air intake closed and the filter clean to prevent outdoor smoke from getting inside
• Do not use candles and fireplaces. Do not vacuum, smoke tobacco or other products.
• Do not rely on dust masks for protection
