[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] That's a common sense question - and yes wildfire smoke is significantly worse. For one, people typically spend an hour or two around a campfire, and the smoke quickly dissipates. Wildfire smoke, on the other hand, comes in humungous plumes and can linger for days or weeks. Wildfires smoke also contains much more pollution/toxic chemicals. It's not just breathing in burning wood but also pollutants from buildings and other toxins. It's distressing that this is now becoming part of life on the East Coast too. [/quote] Maybe people should stop driving giant gas guzzlers?[/quote]
