New Jersey residents have been flooding stores to buy air purifiers because, as we saw Wednesday, the smell of smoke was seeping into some homes, but they were finding Thursday that many places are out of them. CSloanTV reports.
"All of our classrooms do have two air purifiers. We had them on yesterday," said Kelly McHugh, a teacher in Elizabeth."The sky kind of looked green, and we also had indoor recess ... and it was just weird because the blinds were all open. So, it didn't smell like smoke, but some classrooms had to go downstairs 'cause it smelled really bad, like smoke," Autumn McHugh said.
New Jersey's health officials say children are particularly vulnerable to wildfire smoke because they breathe in more air relative to their size."Remember to stay indoors if you can. Close all windows, doors and openings. Place your air conditioner to recirculate if possible," New Jersey Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said."Everyone should try and limit their time outdoors today and avoid strenuous activities," Gov. Phil Murphy said.
