Pollution levels are getting so bad that it has now reached a stage where we must actively take steps to protect ourselves. In fact, air pollution is fast emerging as the single largest threat to human life. A WHO study estimates that 4.2 million people succumb to air pollution-related illnesses every year, but what's even scarier is that indoor air pollution is responsible for 3.8 million deaths a year.

Air purifiers and breathing masks are sold out or in short supply at stores across Sonoma County, and despite the rain forecast for Wednesday, retail managers say the demand remains high. “There lots of people that come in for purifiers and get turned down,” said Mike Pierre, general manager at the Mission Ace Hardware & Lumber on Sonoma Highway.

When smoke from the Butte County fire crept into Sonoma County on Nov. 8, the Mission Ace had a handful of purifiers and about 500 to 600 N95 breathing masks — leftover stock from the October 2017 North Bay fires.
