I think it's still hard to say if we breathed in a lot of this or not. It's floating higher up as it gets closer to us, moving fast and diluting.

It's not good at all but I don't think we should panick compared to what we are breathing in on a daily basis

Yeah that's ass. I'd love to breath actual clean air but that won't happen. At least this doesn't pose an immediate health risk any more than the asbestos in the air from brake pads

I'm confident we are breathing it in.

It already passed us for one. And secondly I never said we weren't breathing it in.

I suggested that the amount we actually inhale is unknown and isn't going to be the same concentration as the site of the contamination. Meaning, I don't think we should worry just uet because we aren't breathing in much more chemicals than a normal day

Its still smoldering. Just because the fire is out doesnt mean it's not still outputting chemicals. We already breathe in too much. Any more is too much.

Air quality in Ohio passes all checks. I can guarantee that by the time it arrived in Maine, even more diluted, it still was safe in those quantities.

Passing a ppm check doesn't mean the carcinogen that you're breathing is safe. Have you seen the pictures of vehicles in Maine with the brown rain drops on them shortly after the fire occurred. Breathing or breathed, it's an avoidable situation where we were forced to inhale toxic carcinogens and chemical fumes.

Precipitation brings it right back down to earth. Ever hear of acid rain?
