Regarding the smoke generated from controlled burns, the Forest Service does seem to get it. How much is a human life worth? Do they realize smoke from these burns causes people to have heart attacks, if not during the burns, possibly some time after the burn as a result of small smoke particles bypassing any protection your lungs have to offer, getting into the blood stream and reaking havoc with the heart? (photo credit above the New Mexian News article link about controlled burns)
What good is an advisory warning to people who can not just up and move out of town or even out of state when there controlled burns are going on? People may die from this stuff.
What can you do to protect yourself other than go to your second vacation home in another state (as officials seem to suggest you do) :) ....
Staying indoor helps but air from outside will penetrate to the inside:
Get a good HEPA air purifier. The only one tested down to 0.01 microns (the size of smoke particles) is the IQAir Health Pro. I recommend the Healthy Pro Plus.
