[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maryland’s air quality was deemed hazardous today. I’m keeping my kids home.

Just be aware that the air inside your house is the same air that is outside and the same air that is at school.

Maybe you should consider moving to Florida to avoid the bad air quality.  [/quote]

This isn’t true at all. Maybe you should consider reading a book once in a while[/quote]

What isn’t true?  Is your house completely sealed off?  It would be weird if it was.  You realize that the air from outside is still getting inside your house?

Keep your kid home all week if you want.  Makes no difference to me.  But realize that your kid is breathing in the same air that the rest of the kids are breathing in, at home or at school.  [/quote]

Exactly - this is why you see all of these pictures from inside people's homes and apartments in NYC where they can't see 5 feet in front just like it is outside on the street. Pollution levels of air outside are always exactly the same as those inside. It's science.[/quote]

When I open the door and go outside, I smell smoke. I don’t smell it when I go back inside. I realize that outside air gets in, but there is no way that the indoor air has the same pollution levels. Otherwise why bother telling people to stay indoors?[/quote]

What do you want them to tell you?  Don’t breathe?

It’s the same air.  I smell the smoke inside also.  [/quote]

The smell is actually not the problem. The particulates are the problem.[/quote]

Okay.  The point is that you can smell the smoke indoors and outdoors.  Wo, likely you are exposed to particles indoors AND outdoors.

It’s unavoidable.  [/quote]
