    Offloading the burden and cost to the victims is just awful.

    Easier for everyone if those “busy roads” were converted into something more human/health/environmentally friendly.

        Most people can’t even afford their own house, let alone installing filtration. My area has been covered in wildfire smoke recently. My apartment has no AC. I get to choose breathing in the smoke and having some cooling from outside, or breath slightly less smoke but swelter in the heat.

    Interesting. I suppose it’s good to have a hepa filter indoors anyway. You don’t want to know how much dust comes off your synthetic clothing and that’s all microplastic you’re breathing.

    Or better, we remove all combustible cars from the road? And have more public transit?

    No purifier needed. All the benefits!
