Wildfire season is in full swing in the United States, with 2,765,545 acres burning across 11 states as of July 27, 2022. In addition to the direct danger wildfires present to those living in the vicinity, wildfire smoke poses health hazards to people all over the country. In a new resource, air quality experts from global air filtration leader Camfil explain the health risks stemming from wildfire smoke and how to minimize exposure.

The resource explains the details of the following questions:
What pollutants are found in wildfire smoke?
Who can be affected by wildfire smoke?
How does wildfire smoke affect respiratory health?
What steps can be taken to stay healthy during wildfire season?
