smoke

It was nice to breather some cleaner air and have some visibility for a few days but that's all about to change as more smoke comes our way to start the week.

Volunteers at CSU are being paid to inhale smoke from cooking stoves! The STOVES Study is happening at Colorado State's Powerhouse Energy Campus in Fort Collins.

Since Colorado legalized marijuana a few short years ago, Hollywood has also taken advantage of the legalization in the form of documentaries.

During last year's fires, I saw many people in Fort Collins wearing masks and bandanas around their mouths to try and protect their lungs from smoke, but wearing things like that will not actually protect your lungs from wildfire smoke. You would actually need a particulate respirator.

Last summer we all had more than enough smokey air to breath in Northern Colorado, and smoke blowing over the mountains from the Big Meadows fire is making some not-so-nice conditions for breathing in the Estes Park, Fort Collins, and Loveland areas. Did you know you can check for smoke advisories and forecasts from Larimer County Department of Health and Environment?
