## Resource

Welcome to the audio version of the following web page: https://filterbuy.ca/resources/air-quality/can-you-open-windows-when-aqi-is-high/ In this episode, we explain whether it is safe to open your windows when outdoor air quality is poor . You’ll learn how wildfire smoke, fine particles, smog, and allergens can enter the home and quickly affect indoor air quality . We also discuss when it is better to keep windows and doors closed, especially for children, older adults, and people with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory sensitivities. Checking local AQHI readings before ventilating can help reduce unnecessary exposure . When outdoor conditions worsen, monitoring wildfire smoke and local air quality in communities such as Arlington and Aurora can help households decide when to rely on recirculation, mini-split filtration , or a portable air purifier instead of open windows. Selecting the correct filter size and MERV rating , replacing filters regularly , and choosing suitable filterbuy filters options through Amazon , Walmart , Target , and The Home Depot can help reduce smoke particles, dust, mould allergens , and other airborne contaminants .
