Smoke from wildfires in the western United States and British Columbia carried into the southwest part of the province over the weekend resulting in poor air quality and reduced visibility. It is important to remember individuals can experience different symptoms such as increased coughing, throat irritation, headaches or shortness of breath. Children, seniors, and those with cardiovascular or lung disease, such as asthma, are especially at risk. People with lung diseases, such as asthma and COPD, can be particularly sensitive to air pollution. They will generally experience more serious health effects at lower levels. Pollution can aggravate their diseases, leading to increased medication use, doctor and emergency room visits and hospital visits. Keep these warnings in mind as more smoke could make its way to the province as fires continue to rage in British Columbia and the western United States.
