The recent wildfires have brought awareness to the hazards posed by wildfire smoke. The thick smoke produced by wildfires contains harmful pollutants, including fine particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon monoxide, and toxic gases, which can infiltrate indoor spaces and cause respiratory issues, eye irritation, and long-term health complications.

By using advanced air filtration systems in Glendale, homeowners can significantly reduce airborne contaminants, ensuring cleaner, safer indoor air. In this blog, we’ll explore how to optimize indoor air quality during wildfires to keep your home’s indoor air clean and safe.
