Where to get free N95 masks today in the East Village

Air quality advisories remain in place as the Canadian wildfire smoke continues to cover the Northeast.

Local City Councilmember Carlina Rivera's office is providing free N95 masks today until 5 p.m. The office is at 254 E. Fourth St., just east of Avenue B. 

And how long will these hazardous conditions and photogenic skylines remain?

Per Gothamist
 The National Weather Service said Thursday that a low-pressure system over Maine will be stalled at least until Saturday, keeping the smoke funneling southward instead of floating east.

Where are you all going for air quality reports? I've used 'Purple Air'

I've been using my phone, of all things!

Do a web search on "air quality nyc" and that should do it.

I downloaded the AirNow app from the EPA. Enter your zip code, and you get the readings for your immediate neighborhood.
