One more day of haze? That’s the current forecast.

But until then, everyone is advised to take it easy. A joint press release issued by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency and the public health departments of King, Snohomish, Kitsap and Pierce counties stated that air quality has reached “unhealthy” levels in the Puget Sound region due to wildfire smoke invading the region.

While there are wildfires burning throughout the Pacific Northwest, the closest one, the Maple Fire, which is located in Olympic National Forest, as of 9 a.m. was 52 percent contained, according to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. It is 1,245 acres in size.

A “marine push” Wednesday evening into Thursday should return air quality to a more acceptable level, according to the National Weather Service.

Wildfire smoke can cause a number of health problems. Symptoms can include watery eyes, chest pain, cough, irregular heartbeat and headaches. While it is recommended that everyone take precautions, children, older adults and people who have heart or lung issues should be extra careful.

The Puget Sounds Clean Air Agency recommends the following:

• Stay indoors when possible.
• Limit your physical activity outdoors, such as running, bicycling, physical labor and sports.
• Close windows in your home, if possible, and keep the indoor air clean. If you have an air conditioner, use the “recirculation” switch. Use an indoor air filter if available.
• If you do not have an air conditioner, consider finding a public place with clean, air-conditioned indoor air like a public library or a community center.
• Avoid driving when possible. If you must drive, keep the windows closed. If you use the car’s fan or air conditioning, make sure the system recirculates air from inside the car; don’t pull air from outside.
• Schools, camps, sports teams and daycare providers should consider postponing outdoor activities or moving them indoors.
