## Resource

Wildfire smoke from Canada is blanketing Maryland again, triggering dangerous air quality alerts and even Code Purple warnings. Fine particles in the smoke can penetrate deep into lungs and bloodstream, causing serious health issues — especially for those with heart or lung conditions. Last year’s similar event cost hospitals millions; though this smoke may be less concentrated, it’s expected to linger longer. Experts urge staying indoors, especially during peak heat, and if you must go outside, seal your home, use recirculate mode in your car, and wear wraparound glasses. If you feel chest pain or shortness of breath, seek help immediately — and don’t ignore lingering symptoms after the haze clears.
