Recently, a close friend mentioned a major disaster that occurred recently in the Midwest.
Chemicals were spilled due to a significant train derailment, and some controlled fires were started to burn some of the dangerous chemicals off.
It was a little difficult and spooky to listen to. Sadly, no significant attempts were made to evacuate the locals. I believe they had the choice to go, but some chose to stay in their houses. Many guests have been complaining about the chlorine odor in the air. The incident happened weeks ago, but it seems like the chemical is still there. Additionally, if residents in the area detect the smell of chlorine, the air quality has probably been lowered and may now be dangerous to breathe. I also hope that the residents are taking steps to ensure the safety of the air inside their homes even though the outside air quality may be subpar. Internal air filters in HVAC systems are not intended to catch every contaminant. Even though it won’t completely filter out all the pollutants, the air filter should be kept clean so that it can capture the majority of the lingering toxins inside the house. Additionally, they might think about investing in air purifiers, which are better suited to removing more toxins and pollutants from the air. Having good indoor and outdoor air quality is essential because breathing in toxic fumes and chemicals can have a negative impact on one’s health. I hope everyone in the area is taking security measures to stay safe. This weekend, I’m sure I’ll check my air filters again.
