## Resource

Welcome to the audio version of the following web page: https://filterbuy.com/resources/air-quality/can-you-open-windows-when-aqi-is-high/ In this episode, we explain whether you should open your windows when outdoor air quality is poor . You’ll learn how high AQI levels can allow wildfire smoke, smog, fine particles, and allergens to enter your home and affect indoor air quality . We also discuss when it may be safer to keep windows and doors closed, especially for children, older adults, and people with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory sensitivities. Checking local air quality before ventilating can help reduce unnecessary exposure . To strengthen indoor protectio n during high-AQI events, air purifiers , clean ductwork , winter HVAC maintenance , and correctly sized filters with suitable MERV or HEPA-level efficiency can help reduce smoke, dust, odours , and allergy-triggering particles . Regular indoor air checks and affordable replacement options from Amazon , Walmart , Target , and The Home Depot can make it easier to maintain cleaner air until outdoor conditions improve.
