(BPT) - La llegada del otoño suele parecer un nuevo comienzo: mañanas más frescas, hojas que cambian de color, un ritmo más pausado. Sin embargo, en muchas partes del país, también indica algo menos visible: una segunda temporada de incendios forestales.
Si bien el sur de California, Texas, Oklahoma y partes de los Apalaches centrales y meridionales presentan el mayor riesgo de incendios forestales en octubre, la vegetación seca, las hojas caídas y los vientos estacionales pueden generar condiciones propicias para incendios de rápida propagación, cuyo impacto puede llegar a los hogares ubicados a kilómetros de distancia, e incluso en otros estados. Una vez que llega a su zona, el humo de los incendios forestales puede ingresar a su hogar y afectar la calidad del aire interior. Conozca cómo la filtración del sistema de calefacción, ventilación y aire acondicionado (HVAC) y los purificadores de aire pueden ayudar a reducir las partículas peligrosas del humo en interiores.
