Wildfire Smoke Increases Risk of Heart Issues within Hours, Study Finds
The Weather Network, May 1, 2023
Does breathing in wildfire smoke mean lung issues for life? The B.C. Centre for Disease Control is again warning British Columbians of the negative health impacts of wildfire smoke, in the wake of new research that suggests air pollution can immediately increase risk of several heart problems.

A successful experiment from 2020 & 2021, in the thick of BC's wildfire smoke. A smoke particle is 7 times bigger than a covid-19 virus particle.

If you've got any N-95 masks lying around, they will filter the smoke completely. I prefer to use the kind with an exhaust valve -- instantly gets rid of the air you're exhaling and protects you against the smoke when inhaling.
