>As wildfires burning around Northern California pump out wildfire smoke, many residents may turn to N95 masks to protect themselves from particulates in the air.
>"The advice is this: If it makes you feel better, wear one," says Francis Zamora, a spokesperson for the Department of Emergency Services "If it makes you feel worse, take it off immediately."
>The advice comes with one major caveat: if you choose to wear the mask, the likelihood of it doing more harm than good is high

>When a mask is properly sealed, it's hot and uncomfortable to wear and breathing is strenuous. "They make the heart and lungs work harder and can cause respiratory distress for people with breathing conditions," says Fasano. "They may be dangerous for individuals with lung or heart conditions and may lead to increased heart and respiratory rate, or labored breathing. There is not clear evidence that N95 respirator use is beneficial to an individual’s health during wildfire smoke events and could be harmful."

I hate anti-maskfags as much as anyone else, but this shit is just comical.

What's the most reasonable way to filter out heavy smoke from the wildfires? Wet, single layer bandana?
