Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram – when it comes to air quality, not all apps have the granularity we need—especially since we live only 10 minutes from the eaton fire. after trying a few different apps @aircaretheapp stands out.
it’s the only app i’m using, and i paid for the pro version because it breaks down what’s actually in the air we’re breathing. apple weather just doesn’t cut it and i want to do everything possible manage air toxicity exposure and anxiety.
not all pollutants affect us the same way, and knowing what’s in the air is especially critical if managing conditions like asthma, long covid, or if you’re pregnant. also, the particular matter in the air has carcinogenic capabilities. it’s important to consider the long-term impact and not just how you feel in this moment.
according to my friend and obgyn @adrianawongmd, the best way to decontaminate after being outdoors is to wash and wipe yourself down when you get inside. ash particles can cling to your skin, clothing, and belongings, so taking this extra step helps keep harmful particles out of your home.
please share this app or gift this app to others, if you dm me, i’m happy to gift it to you. it’s on ios and android. stay safe and mask up đź«‚ | Posted on 14/Jan/2025 00:48:49
