Wildfire smoke has caused air quality in southern Ontario and Quebec to plummet — 8 best AHAM-certified air purifiers
As wildfires continue to rage throughout Western Canada, thousands of residents of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan have been evacuated, and millions in the surrounding areas face hazardous air quality conditions. Manitoba, the epicentre of the wildfires, remains under a province-wide state of emergency as extreme fire conditions force thousands to flee. Premier Wab Kinew has called it Manitoba's "largest evacuation" in living memory. More than 17,000 Manitobans have been evacuated, along with over 4,000 people in Alberta and between 10,000 and 15,000 residents in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe declared a province-wide state of emergency on May 29, one day after his Manitoba counterpart, Kinew, did the same. Smoke from the Canadian wildfires has triggered air quality warnings in several provinces and surrounding U.S. states. As of Friday, June 6, much of southern Ontario and southern Quebec, including Toronto, Ottawa and Montréal, have been placed under special air quality alerts. As of 12:43 p.m. EST on Friday., IQAir, a Swiss technology company, ranked Toronto as the city with the second-worst air quality in the world and Montréal as the third-worst. On days with poor air quality, people are more likely to experience shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and coughing or wheezing — especially if they have a chronic respiratory disease like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The small particles in wildfire smoke can get into your eyes and bloodstream, and if you have a heart or lung problem, you may experience problems earlier and at lower smoke levels. According to Health Canada, using a portable air purifier that can filter fine particles is one way to protect your indoor environment from smoke pollution. Air purifiers, also known as air cleaners, can improve indoor air quality by removing small contaminants that can harm your health. According to the health authority, you should prioritize the following when choosing an air purifier: Look for a device certified by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM). Choose an air purifier sized appropriately for the room you want to put it in. Consider the clean air delivery rate (CADR) for the room size. The CADR describes how well the device reduces tobacco smoke, dust, pollen and wildfire smoke. To reduce fine particles, select a device with the highest CADR. Choose an air purifier with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. Avoid devices that produce ozone. Not all air purifiers are made equal. Following Health Canada's recommendations, we've listed eight AHAM-certified air purifiers and included information about recommended room sizes and CADR ratings. Room Size: 47 ft2 Tobacco Smoke CADR: 30 Dust CADR: 41 PM2.5 CADR: 35 Pollen CADR: 52 Volts / Frequency: 120V / 60Hz Room Size: 201 ft2 Tobacco Smoke CADR: 112 Dust CADR: 112 Pollen CADR: 112 Volts / Frequency: 100V / 50Hz | 240V / 60Hz Room Size: 140 ft2 Tobacco Smoke CADR: 90 Dust CADR: 101 PM2.5 CADR: 95 Pollen CADR: 119 Volts / Frequency: 120V / 60Hz Room Size: 170 ft2 Tobacco Smoke CADR: 110 Dust CADR: 120 Pollen CADR: 130 Volts / Frequency: 120V / 60Hz Room Size: 206 ft2 Tobacco Smoke CADR: 133 Dust CADR: 141 Pollen CADR: 145 Volts / Frequency: 120V / 60Hz Room Size: 200 ft2 Tobacco Smoke CADR: 132 Dust CADR: 130 Pollen CADR: 152 Volts / Frequency: 120V / 60Hz Room Size: 250 ft2 Tobacco Smoke CADR: 161 Dust CADR: 160 Pollen CADR: 170 Volts / Frequency: 120V / 60Hz Room Size: 358 ft2 Tobacco Smoke CADR: 231 Dust CADR: 240 PM2.5 CADR: 236 Pollen CADR: 259 Volts / Frequency: 120V / 60Hz

Wildfire smoke is causing air quality to plummet across Canada — 8 best AHAM-certified air purifiers for 2025
As wildfires continue to rage throughout Western Canada, thousands of residents of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan have been evacuated, and millions in the surrounding areas face hazardous air quality conditions. Manitoba, the epicentre of the wildfires, remains under a province-wide state of emergency as extreme fire conditions force thousands to flee. Premier Wab Kinew has called it Manitoba's "largest evacuation" in living memory. More than 17,000 Manitobans have been evacuated, along with 1,300 people in Alberta and approximately 8,000 people in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe declared a province-wide state of emergency on Thursday, one day after his Manitoba counterpart, Kinew, did the same. Smoke from the Canadian wildfires has triggered air quality warnings in several provinces and surrounding U.S. states. As of Monday, June 2, the air quality in Flin Flon and Winnipeg, MB, remains at a 10+ or "very high risk" on the Air Quality Health Index — the highest possible level. On days with poor air quality, people are more likely to experience shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and coughing or wheezing — especially if they have a chronic respiratory disease like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
