... because of air pollution outside (not in the UK).
Basically the pm2.5 level (most damaging to health air pollutant) outside is so unhealthy today that the recommendation is to keep children indoors. We've been checking the air pollution index all week and planning activities to minimise time outside. Today DH and toddler DS have stayed in all day trying to stave off cabin fever. They'll probably have to do so tomorrow as well.
Now DH has only fallen asleep on the sofa and burned a meal he was cooking - the smell woke me up in the bedroom and I can hear him cleaning up and the kitchen fan going. So I'm guessing the pm2.5 levels are now as bad inside as they are outside (there's a study that says just roasting a meal can raise indoor pm2.5 to very high levels albeit for just 1h). Our kitchen is open plan with our living room. What the f do we do? All I can think of is to run a hot shower with the door open to get some steam in the air but we have pretty big rooms and it's not week situated. It's 3am here. I'm so pissed off with DH and worried about DS and all the f* pm2.5 particles lodging in his lungs.
