These fires have added to our love of our air cleaning units. Between these and our particulate reader (see previous post), we have learned how the burden of smoke or outdoor air pollution contributes to the aerosol issue in dentistry. We have learned that on a high pollution day, we have to be even more careful of how we do things to keep the aerosols minimized as the ambient pollution level are a bit of a burden on our filtration systems. We are always striving to keep everyone healthy!
