Boise Remains ‘Under the Smoke’ As Unhealthy Conditions Continue

Take a look outside or just open your window for a brief second and you're likely to wonder...when is this going to end!?

Air Quality has been been healthy for those of us in the Treasure Valley in literally several weeks. While some days have been worse than others, just because you may be 'getting used to it' doesn't mean that it's 'less bad' for us.

Hazy skies, smelly air, and an overall feeling of 'grey' have taken over and that has been the case for weeks now.

There is no doubt that the several fires in Oregon are sending PLUMES of smoke into Idaho and it's what we're seeing, smelling, and feeling right now. It's also crazy to imagine we have been under that for so long?  

At one point during this span, Boise had the worst air quality...in America.

The best advice from health professionals? Stay inside if you can, avoid prolonged outdoor activities if they aren't necessary (like runs or sport practices) and keep your home sealed off. Changing out air filters if you have not done so recently is recommended, as well.
