Wildfires have become a growing concern worldwide, releasing massive amounts of smoke and particulate matter into the air. While outdoor air quality is immediately impacted, indoor air quality (IAQ) also suffers significantly as fine particles infiltrate homes, schools, and workplaces. Wildfire smoke contains harmful pollutants such as PM2.5, carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and hazardous air toxics, all of which pose serious health risks.
According to Steve Fontaine, America's indoor air quality expert and founder of IAQ Solutions and Consulting Inc., "Wildfire smoke doesn't just affect the outdoors—it seeps into our homes and buildings, putting everyone at risk. The right IAQ strategies can help protect your health and well-being."
