🔥 NEW: Ecologist Olivia Sanderfoot at #Cornell is building a new field she calls smoke #ecology, asking how #wildfire smoke affects birds even hundreds of kilometers from any flames. #Birds breathe roughly twice as much air as #humans per breath, using rigid lungs and air sacs, so smoke hits them harder. Sanderfoot is combining atmospheric #chemistry, satellite #data, and thousands of volunteer nest-box observers to track what birds do when #smoke arrives. 👉 https://www.npr.org/2026/10/06/nx-s1-5991854/wildfire-smoke-ecology-birds-wildlife-health #ecology #ornithology #climate #conservation #bluebirds #science #wildlife #nature #birding #research #animals

#AQI is 176 here, although it looks (and smells) a lot worse this morning. I'm wondering if it's worse at my elevation than at the air quality station, which is down near the level of the river. (That's about 900 feet below me.) I've got all the windows closed throughout the house so I don't really smell it inside. It's a shame that I have to go out again today. #wildfires #smoke

"Tiny particles in the air can cause a range of short-term and chronic health issues, experts say. Wildfire smoke can settle over cities for days — like the recent blanket over parts of the U.S. from burning fires in Canada, which has created hazardous air for millions of people across multiple states. Health officials advise people to stay indoors — and to take steps to keep the air in your home clean." https://apnews.com/article/wildfires-smoke-filters-e39f285bec1eccfdb0fbc33b753a987a #PublicHealth #AirQuality #wildfires #smoke #ventilation
