We don’t post things often on social media - you have enough to filter through on a regular basis. But when we do post, it’s important…
For our followers in our home area of Guelph, Ontario and surrounding areas. As you are probably well aware, we are under a special air quality statement due to wildfire smoke. If you are pregnant, you are an at-risk population. The top pollutant in smoke - PM2.5 - will affect your health and your fetus’ health and development. All children, especially infants, are also very vulnerable to this dangerous pollutant.
Please protector yourself by staying indoors as much as possible. If you go outdoors, wear an N95 mask any time your local air quality health index (AQHI) is 4 or higher. You can also check the PM2.5 rating - over 35 and you should wear an N95 mask. Please remember - as a pregnant person, you are an “at risk” population.
