Wildfire smoke can travel hundreds of miles, affecting air quality in far-flung areas including our own. With this year’s fire season off to an early and aggressive start there is the potential for the Bay Area to experience similar poor air quality conditions as in the past.
Visit the Lab’s Wildfire Smoke website for information on the air quality at Lab sites or in your local area, steps you can take to limit your smoke exposure at home and work, health effects of smoke, and actions the Lab takes at the different air quality levels.
