Esta es la tercera de una serie de guías climáticas publicades originalmente por Planet Detroit (planetdetroit.org). Planet Detroit proporciona actualizaciones semanales que se centran en informes explicativos, basados en soluciones e investigativos sobre prob- lemas ambientales en Detroit y Michigan.

This is the third in a series of Climate Guide reprints originally published by Planet Detroit (planetdetroit.org). Planet Detroit provides weekly updates that focus on explanatory, solutions-based, and investigative reporting about environmental issues in Detroit and Michigan.

Español Abajo

June 2023 has been a historic month for poor air quality across Michigan.  That has meant disappointment for those hoping to enjoy the outdoors in Michigan’s precious warmer months. It has also meant misery for those with respiratory and pulmonary diseases like asthma and COPD. Wildfire smoke is likely to be part of a “new normal” for us in Michigan. Here’s your survival guide.

How bad has air quality been and why?

Air quality has been unhealthy or worse for at least 1 out of 3 days during June 2023 as a result of nearly 500 wildfires burning in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. The Canadian wildfires began burning early this year in April; typically, the wildfire season in Canada runs May through October.

The air quality index across the Great Lakes has ranged from 100 to above 300 on those days, from unhealthy for sensitive groups all the way to hazardous for all groups. Only a few days have been “good” with an AQI of 50 or below.

The composition of wildfire smoke can vary depending on factors such as the type of vegetation burning, the stage of combustion, and environmental conditions. The smoke typically contains a combination of carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), water vapor, nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (including PM2.5 and PM10), and various other chemicals. Elevated local air quality indexes have been primarily driven by PM2.5.

The smoke is likely to be a recurrent fixture of summer 2023 – or until those fires in Canada are extinguished. It’s part of a new normal that we may be facing as Michiganders realize that we’re not immune to climate change’s impacts.

“So long as there’s fires going on [in Canada] and the winds are oriented such that they carry the smoke aloft towards us, then we can get wildfire smoke, “ Kevin Kacan, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service based in White Lake, told Planet Detroit.

When winds shift, we’re likely to get a reprieve as we have before this week, but only until the wind shifts back.  “It comes down to how long these fires will last. If fires continue to burn then it is more likely that we’ll get more smoke days,” Kacan said.

How can breathing this air affect me?

Dr. Alexander Rabin, a pulmonary and critical care medicine physician at the University of Michigan, said the impact of the poor air quality on his patients has been “dramatic.”  

“We’re seeing patients, particularly with pre-existing lung diseases like COPD or asthma, complaining that they’re coughing, their eyes are watering, they’re having trouble breathing, and they’re having to use more of their medications and specifically their rescue inhalers and rescue medications, to be able to breathe,” he told Planet Detroit.

From a health perspective, the most concerning components of wildfire smoke are the fine particles, particularly PM2.5. These particles are very small, with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less, and can penetrate deep into the respiratory system when inhaled and even enter the bloodstream. 

PM2.5 can cause or exacerbate respiratory and cardiovascular problems, including coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. The smoke can also irritate the eyes, throat, and lungs.

An AQI measurement of 20 is equivalent to smoking one cigarette a day. Being exposed to an AQI of 150 over several days is equivalent to about seven cigarettes.

How can I protect myself and my family?

When air quality is poor, people are generally advised to stay indoors and keep windows closed. Minimizing or avoiding outdoor activities – especially outdoor exertion – is recommended. Wearing a N95 mask or respirator outdoors may be a good idea.

Vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly, children, pregnant women and those with pre-existing respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, are at a higher risk and should take extra precautions like using air purifiers to minimize exposure to the smoke. People who work outdoors are also vulnerable.

If you don’t have an air purifier, consider creating a makeshift clean room using a central area of your home. Seal any gaps around doors and windows with weather stripping or tape. Use a portable air cleaner in that room and consider covering windows with plastic to further minimize smoke infiltration. A cheap but effective do-it-yourself air filter can be made with a box fan and furnace filter (here’s a great guide on how from Outlier Media).

Stay updated on local air quality conditions and follow guidance from local authorities, health agencies, or meteorological services. They often provide air quality index (AQI) reports or advisories that indicate the level of pollution and provide recommendations.

Guía de supervivencia de Detroit: los incendios forestales y la mala calidad del aire

El humo de los incendios forestales podría ser nuestra nueva “normalidad” en Michigan

El mes de junio de 2023 ha sido un mes histórico debido a la mala calidad del aire en Michigan. Ha sido una decepción para los que esperan disfrutar
del aire libre, en los precio- sos meses más cálidos de Michigan, como también una miseria para los que padecen enfermedades respiratorias
y pulmonares como asma y EPOC. El humo de los incendios forestales podría ser nuestra nueva “normalidad” en Michigan. Aquí está su guía de supervivencia.

¿Qué tan mala ha sido la calidad del aire y por qué?

La calidad del aire ha sido poco saludable o insalubre durante al menos 1 de cada 3 días de junio de 2023, como resultado de casi 500 incen- dios forestales en Alberta, Ontario y Quebec. Esto ha sido peor que los años anteriores.

El índice de calidad del aire en los Grandes Lagos ha oscilado entre 100 y más de 300 en esos días, desde insa- lubre para grupos sensibles hasta peligroso para todos. Solo unos pocos días han sido “buenos” con un AQI de 50 o menos.

La composición del humo de los incendios forestales puede variar según factores como el tipo de vegetación que se quema, la etapa de combustión y las condi- ciones ambientales. El humo generalmente contiene una combinación de dióxido de carbono (CO2), monóxido
de carbono (CO), vapor de agua, óxidos de nitrógeno (NOx), compuestos orgánicos volátiles (COV), partículas (incluyendo PM2.5 y PM10) y otros químicos. Los eleva- dos índices locales de calidad del aire han sido conducidos principalmente por PM2.5.

Es probable que el humo sea un elemento recurrente del verano de 2023, o hasta que se extingan esos incen- dios en Canadá. Es parte de una nueva normalidad que podemos enfrentar a medida que los habitantes de Michigan se dan cuenta de que no somos inmunes a los impactos del cambio climático.

“Mientras haya incendios (en Canadá) y los vientos estén orientados de tal manera que conduzcan el humo hacia nosotros, tendremos humo de incendios forestales”, Kevin Kacan, meteorólogo del Servicio Meterólogo Nacional con sede en White Lake.

Cuando cambie el viento es probable que obtengamos un respiro como lo hemos hecho antes de esta semana, pero solo hasta que el viento vuelva a cambiar. “Todo se reduce a cuánto durarán estos incendios. Si los incendios continúan ardiendo, es proba- ble que tengamos más días de humo”, dijo Kacan.

¿Cómo podría afectarme respirar este aire?

El Dr. Alexander Rabin, médico de cuidados inten- sivos y pulmonares de la Universidad de Michigan, dijo que el impacto de la mala calidad del aire en sus pacientes ha sido “dramático”.

“Estamos viendo pacientes, particularmente con enfer- medades pulmonares preex- istentes como EPOC o asma, que se quejan de que tosen, les lloran los ojos, tienen problemas para respirar y tienen que usar más de sus medicamentos y específi- camente sus inhaladores de rescate y medicamentos de rescate, para poder respirar”, le dijo a Planet Detroit.

Los componentes más preocupantes del humo de los incendios forestales desde una perspectiva de salud son las partículas finas, en partic- ular el PM2.5. Estas partícu- las son muy pequeñas, con un diámetro de 2,5 micrómetros o menos, y pueden penetrar profundamente en el sistema respiratorio cuando se inhalan e incluso ingresar al torrente sanguíneo.

PM2.5 puede causar o exac- erbar problemas respiratorios y cardiovasculares, como tos, sibilancias, dificultad para respirar y mayor riesgo de ataques cardíacos y acci- dentes cerebrovasculares. El humo también puede irritar los ojos, la garganta y los pulmones.

Una medida AQI de 20 es equivalente a fumar un cigar- rillo al día. Estar expuesto a un AQI de 150 durante varios días equivale a unos siete cigarrillos.

¿Cómo puedo protegerme y a mi familia?

Cuando la calidad del aire es mala, generalmente se recomienda a las personas que permanezcan en el interi- or y mantengan las ventanas cerradas. Se recomienda minimizar o evitar las actividades al aire libre, espe- cialmente el esfuerzo al aire libre. Usar una máscara N95 o un respirador al aire libre puede ser una buena idea.

Las personas vulnerables, como los ancianos, los niños, las mujeres embarazadas y las personas con afecciones respiratorias o cardiovascu- lares preexistentes, corren un mayor riesgo y deben tomar precauciones adicionales, como usar purificadores
de aire, para minimizar la exposición al humo. Las personas que trabajan al aire libre también son vulnerables.

Si no tiene un purificador de aire, considere crear una habitación limpia improvisa- da usando un área central de su hogar. Selle los espacios alrededor de puertas y ventanas con burletes o cinta adhesiva. Use un purifica- dor de aire portátil en esa habitación y considere cubrir las ventanas con plástico para minimizar aún más la infil- tración de humo.

Se puede hacer un filtro de aire de bricolaje económico pero efectivo con un venti- lador de caja y un filtro de horno (aquí hay una excelente guía sobre cómo hacerlo de Outlier Media).

Manténgase actualizado sobre las condiciones locales de calidad del aire y siga las instrucciones de las autori- dades locales, las agencias de salud o los servicios meteorológicos. A menudo brindan informes o avisos del índice de calidad del aire (AQI) que indican el nivel de contaminación y brindan recomendaciones.

Mantenga una b uena calidad de aire interior, evitando actividades que puedan empeorarla, como fumar productos de tabaco, encender velas o incienso, o usar electrodomésticos a gas sin la ventilación adecuada. Mantente hidratado. Beber mucha agua puede ayudar a aliviar la irritación respirato- ria causada por la exposición al humo.

Busque consejo médico si es necesario. Si usted o los miembros de su familia experimentan síntomas graves como dificultad para respirar, dolor en el pecho o empeoramiento de las condiciones respiratorias, busque atención médica de inmediato.

“Para las personas que al exterior llegan a tener síntomas graves, necesi-
tan asegurarse de buscar atención médica por tos o enfermedades respiratorias prolongadas y continuar en el interior”, dijo a Planet Detroit la directora interina de salud pública de Detroit, Christina Floyd.

El humo de los incendios forestales puede dañar la salud humana, incluso cuando el fuego está a cientos de millas de distancia: un toxicólogo nos explica por qué.

¿Esta crisis es causada por el cambio climático?

Los incendios forestales son un fenómeno complejo influenciado por múltiples factores, incluidos el clima, la vegetación, las prácticas de gestión de la tierra y las actividades humanas. Hay evidencia de que el cambio climático está contribuyendo a la frecuencia y gravedad de los incendios forestales.

El cambio climático puede influir en los incendios forestales de varias maneras. El aumento de las tempera- turas y los cambios en los patrones de precipitación pueden generar condiciones más secas, lo que aumenta
la probabilidad de incendios forestales. La vegetación seca se vuelve más susceptible a la ignición y la duración de la temporada de incendios puede extenderse.

¿Cuán Segura Es La Calidad De Mi Aire?

Los cambios en los patrones climáticos, como la alteración de los patrones de lluvia y las sequías, pueden afectar el crecimiento de la vegetación y contribuir a la acumulación de biomasa seca e inflamable. Este aumento en la disponib- ilidad de combustible puede contribuir a la intensidad y propagación de los incendios forestales.

El cambio climático puede influir en los patrones climáticos, lo que provoca olas de calor más frecuentes e intensas, tormentas eléctricas secas o vientos fuertes, todo lo cual puede contribuir a la ignición y propagación de incendios forestales.
