#Salem High School dismisses early as brush fires cause unhealthy air quality

Tuesday morning was the worst the air quality has been since the first significant fire broke out in Salem, based on data from the EPA

By Thea DiGiammerino and Alysha Palumbo
Published October 29, 2024

"''The fire itself is not the danger. It’s the air quality this morning,' said Chris O’Donnell, Salem Public Schools Director of Communications. 'As we arrived on campus this morning we could smell quite a bit of smoke. There’s always initial concern but we made it clear that the fire is not the danger.'

"According to the Environmental Protection Agency's #AirNow Fire and Smoke Map, air quality in Lynn had reached #HazardousLevels - over 300 PPM - early Tuesday morning, the worst alert level listed and considered an emergency. As of mid-morning it had dropped into the 'very unhealthy' level - between 201 to 300 PM - a category where the risk of health effects is increased for everyone. Levels may fluctuate depending on the fires and weather conditions. The public is advised to limit outdoor activities when possible.

"This is the second day of air quality concerns from the fire. On Monday the smell of smoke was strong all over the #Boston area due to a weather phenomenon called #inversion. That's when warm air traps cool air and smoke close to the ground, and that can be a concern for air quality because #wildfire smoke has been shown to carry #pollutants."

Do you all check the AQI for your area, and does your reporting source break down the result? I find that particulate matter (esp. PM 2.5), and nitrogen dioxide, are the main contributors to poor air quality in my area.

Nobody in the U.S. has had it as bad as Klamath, Oregon, though, which recently reported a reading of 402 :blobcatscared: out of 500.

Fun fact: the Lovin' Spoonful sang "Hot town, summer in the city, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty" just four years before the passage of the Clean Air Act here in the United States.

Good morning y'all. It appears as though the Canadian wildfire smoke has made its way all the way down here to the Georgia/Florida border.

Air Quality across the Eastern half of the country is awfully bad. If you're sensitive to poor air quality, I would mask up or wear a respirator. I'd also suggest getting an app like AirVisual from IQAir. It's very informative.
