Produce Exposed to Wildfire Smoke
When assessing the safety of exposed produce, knowing what has been burning is the key. If it is just vegetation smoke then it’s probably safe to eat produce after rinsing off the ash (just the same as having a bonfire in your garden), although it might still taste/smell smoky. Learn more:
Protecting Those Who Work Outside
When the Air Quality Index reaches 150 or higher, the employer must provide respirators for employee use on a voluntary basis. N95 masks should be used. Make sure they also protect against coronavirus – N95 masks without the vent.
Agricultural operations can obtain masks from the Sonoma County Dept of Ag:
