Sensitive populations should restrict prolonged or intense effort, including those with heart illness, lung disease (including asthma), children, and elderly adults. Additionally, you should cut back on or stop doing things like outside burning and using wood-burning appliances in your home.
Additionally, close your windows at night to keep smoke from entering your home, and if you can, run your central air conditioning with filters that have a MERV rating of 13 or higher.
