Wildfire smoke contains small particulate matter and other toxic substances that can embed in the lungs and increase the risk of a range of health problems. The easiest ways to protect yourself from smoke during wildfire are by monitoring local air quality, staying indoors with windows and doors shut when possible, and wearing an N-95 or P-100 labeled mask when you go outdoors. Learn more about the health impacts of wildfire smoke and how to stay safe with this resource from the California Air Resources Board. Even under normal conditions, your home may have unhealthy levels of airborne pollutants. Our regional partner, Bay Area Regional Energy Network (BayREN), offers the opportunity for you to speak with an expert about how you can improve air quality inside your home.  Contact Home Energy Advisor
