When the air is smoky from burning wildfires, health experts say to stay indoors. But there are steps you should take to keep the air clean inside your home. Buy or make an air filter, ensure your window AC is not pulling in outside air, seal up drafts and avoid burning candles or cooking on the stove. If you can't clean the air at home, go to the library, mall or other public place to lower your exposure. Symptoms from breathing in too much wildfire smoke include shortness of breath, chest tightness, headaches, and a burning sensation in the nose and eyes.
