It was our first home—a brand new house we’d worked hard for, full of smoke every day.
I am an elderly person who has suffered from wretched chimney smoke for over 10 years now… It’s like living in some kind of hell.
Every evening from October until the end of April, very high levels of fine particles are present in the air.
I have significant heart disease and cannot believe there aren’t more laws to protect people from this pollution…
…I’m tired of being imprisoned by others’ perceived rights.…
…even with the insulating plastic on the windows it feels like it just pours in.…
…outdoor air quality sensors register harmful elevated particulate matter on what would otherwise be beautiful days…
I ended up getting so sick! Constant anti-inflammatory and steroid shots, pills, inhalers, nebulizer machine, visits to the hospital, etc.…
The mental and emotional toll, as well as physical impacts of this experience, still plague me personally…
