Wildfire Smoke 101 — Why Your Mask Matters More Than Ever

Wildfires have become increasingly common, affecting air quality across massive regions. Smoke contains PM2.5 — microscopic particles small enough to enter your lungs and bloodstream.

Cloth masks and surgical masks do not block wildfire smoke effectively. The particles are too small.

HALOmask’s Nanofilter™ technology captures smoke particles down to 0.1 microns, offering powerful protection against haze, pollution, and ash. This makes it ideal for individuals sensitive to smoke, families with children, or anyone living in fire-prone areas.

Wearing a breathable filtration mask during wildfire season can reduce headaches, breathing difficulty, irritation, and fatigue caused by smoke exposure.

With wildfires affecting more areas worldwide, having a reusable, high-efficiency mask is an essential clean-air tool — not just for emergencies, but for everyday protection during smoky summers.
