Making history, the wildfires on the west coast this year have been nothing but traumatizing for home owners, families, firefighters, nature, animals, the environment, and many other groups of people. With the drought affecting major areas in the west coast, rain has not been as abundant as in the past, and temperatures have been soaring for the past recent years.\u00a0 Unfortunately, major states such as Washington, California, Idaho, and Oregon have been affected the most.\u00a0 In Washington alone, 590,000 acres of land have been burned down while 276,000 gallons of water have been used to combat against it.\u00a0 In California, as of two weeks ago, there were 17 wildfires being battled and treated by more than 12,000 firefighters.\u00a0 Help is on the way from other states such as Minnesota, Wyoming, and Colorado.\u00a0 Idaho alone has 17 wildfires as well.\u00a0 The fires are spreading rapidly having negative effects on the environment and the quality of air people are breathing as smoke and pollution emerge as a primary concern for the public.<\/p>\n

Washington State Department of Health has issued a warning that \u201cPeople are encouraged to remain indoors to avoid breathing smoky air, which can cause coughing, chest pain and shortness of breath in healthy people.”\u00a0 The smoke outside is something all affected people should be avoiding as many people have asthma, allergies, and are sensitive to a chemical consumed air environment.\u00a0 However, the department failed to mention that the quality of air indoor for these local residents will be just as bad as the air outdoors.<\/p>\n

Did you know that indoor air pollution is a top 5 environmental health risk issued by EDA.gov?\u00a0 Indoor air pollution is bad itself, but for these western states affected by wildfires, the indoor air of almost every home is being contaminated with smoke, pollution, and other toxic chemicals.\u00a0 With air cooling and heating systems, gaps in windows and doors, chemicals being brought in by home owner\u2019s clothes, and the ease of air traveling in and out of homes, the air inside homes will be just as bad as the air outside.\u00a0 The safest place to stay is, without doubt, your home.\u00a0 However, the air in these homes needs to be treated, just as the wildfires outdoors are being treated.<\/p>\n

To treat the air in your home, experts recommend that you should use an air purifier to sanitize and oxygenate the air.\u00a0 Air purifiers have been scientifically proven to combat against air, and kill 99 percent of bacteria such as pollution, smoke, mold, chemicals, allergens, and much more.\u00a0 With the two step release process, the top quality air purifiers release negative ions and ozone, efficiently eliminating almost all contaminants.\u00a0 It\u2019s extremely important that you invest in the right air purifier, not just a generic branded one \u2013 which would result in little to no improvement in the quality of your indoor air.<\/p>\n

We recommend using an Alpine<\/a> air purifier, as they are one of the best air purifiers available in the market today.\u00a0 Alpine air purifiers combat effectively against smoke and pollution as one of their main functions, in addition to fighting against other chemicals.\u00a0 They are super friendly, offer great warranty and customer support, and their machines have been a customer favorite for recent years.<\/p>\n

Investing in an air purifier is the most beneficial thing you can do if you are affected by the wildfires on the west coast.\u00a0 Preventing health issues from arising now will pay off as you will be breathing pure, fresh quality air inside your home, making it the safest place to stay away from the smoke and pollution outdoors.<\/p>\n
