Has anyone tried making a PAPR or HEPA stroller? A few people have mentioned the concept but the only source I've found is this one paper: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-2430680/v1 I'd love practical tips. Right now I can't go into stores with my baby because she can't mask, having the ability to wheel her inside would greatly expand what I can do while caring for my child. Also useful during wildfire smoke. #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne #strollers #PAPR #HEPA #AirFiltration #babies #pollution #smoke

Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) and High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Buggies to Improve COVID-19 Safety for the Youngest Children: Evaluation of Prototypes

🔥 NEW: Ecologist Olivia Sanderfoot at #Cornell is building a new field she calls smoke #ecology, asking how #wildfire smoke affects birds even hundreds of kilometers from any flames. #Birds breathe roughly twice as much air as #humans per breath, using rigid lungs and air sacs, so smoke hits them harder. Sanderfoot is combining atmospheric #chemistry, satellite #data, and thousands of volunteer nest-box observers to track what birds do when #smoke arrives. 👉 https://www.npr.org/2026/10/06/nx-s1-5991854/wildfire-smoke-ecology-birds-wildlife-health #ecology #ornithology #climate #conservation #bluebirds #science #wildlife #nature #birding #research #animals

Wildfire smoke affects animals in unique ways. Scientists are trying to understand it

The new field of "smoke ecology" examines how wildfire smoke perturbs wild places and animals — and what might be done to prevent its worst mayhem.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🔥🫁 Wildfire smoke carries particles and #toxic #chemicals that travel deep into #lungs, enter the bloodstream, and affect the #heart, #brain, and developing fetuses. Researchers found that even moderate recurring #smoke exposure raises risks of #stroke, #cancer, and #autoimmune #disease. A #Stanford team projects 1.9 million excess deaths from #wildfire smoke in the #USA between 2026 and 2055. 👉 https://www.sciencealert.com/wildfire-smoke-can-attack-almost-every-part-of-your-body-not-just-your-lungs #airquality #pm25 #publichealth #health #climate #climatechange #asthma #cardiovascular #environment #pregnancy #science

#AQI is 176 here, although it looks (and smells) a lot worse this morning. I'm wondering if it's worse at my elevation than at the air quality station, which is down near the level of the river. (That's about 900 feet below me.) I've got all the windows closed throughout the house so I don't really smell it inside. It's a shame that I have to go out again today. #wildfires #smoke

"Tiny particles in the air can cause a range of short-term and chronic health issues, experts say. Wildfire smoke can settle over cities for days — like the recent blanket over parts of the U.S. from burning fires in Canada, which has created hazardous air for millions of people across multiple states. Health officials advise people to stay indoors — and to take steps to keep the air in your home clean." https://apnews.com/article/wildfires-smoke-filters-e39f285bec1eccfdb0fbc33b753a987a #PublicHealth #AirQuality #wildfires #smoke #ventilation
