If your car was anywhere in the northeast USA last summer, you should change all your air filters anyway. Remember when the sky turned orange? That wildfire smoke ended up in your filters as well.
The best part was when you checked the AQI, didn't know what the number meant so you checked Google for a breakdown, and your current AQI number was more than four times the highest number on any chart you could find.
I have HEPA filters on the house's air intake and charged then twice during The Smoke, and once after; all three times they were heavily clogged.
I also had massive, massive headaches and eventually had to buy one of those indoor air filterer machines. I'd always kinda thought of them as a scam, but I turned it on and the sensor alerted right away and the machine kicked on. Ran for like an hour before it turned itself off again, and my headaches cleared up afterward. It's a nice little machine.
Or if you are in the western US from April to October.
