[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a question - if smoke drifting over from hundreds of miles away is so bad... Isn't it bad to have bonfires and other controlled fires during the summer? Is smoke exposure worse from the wildfires that are in Cananda, or is it worse from the bonfire your kids are toasting smores over? [/quote]

Ugh PP. Size of the fire. Think about that. Who has bonfire that you can from space? [/quote]

But if you measured air quality in your yard while burning the bonfire, wouldn't the air be full of particulates? But we don't question the repeated exposure of campfires, grilling, etc.[/quote]

Exactly, it’s a legitimate question. I think the one thing is that wildfire smoke is [b]potentially carrying plastics and pesticides and other chemicals[/b] that may not be there in the average campfire. But it’s not healthy to repeatedly breathe campfire smoke, either.[/quote]

You keep making that puzzling statement. I remember this from the other wildfire thread because it was such a strange statement. Where do you think pesticides/plastics come from in wild fires?? [/quote]

If buildings are burning down, all of those things could be inside.[/quote]

how many buildings are burning down in Canadian wilderness PP? Probably small cabin or two, if any. Is that your concern? what people might have in those log cabins? [/quote]

I'm not that PP but it doesn't smell like wood burning. It smells like a burning pile of tires.[/quote]
