The only Asthma App with a Wildfire Smoke Tracker.

Our Wildfire Smoke Tracker reveals the dispersion paths of ground-level and atmospheric smoke. Users may record symptoms when wildfire smoke is present and may be a prevailing factor in impacting their symptoms.

Wildfire smoke disperses pollutants locally and hundreds of miles away from the wildfire source. These pollutants increase normal pollution levels and can be especially problematic for people with asthma.

Increased Wildfire Smoke Risk in a Changing Climate.

In a changing climate, we are seeing longer and more severe wildfire seasons in the US and around the world. These wildfires are having an increasingly negative health impact on communities. Prolonged exposure to wildfire smoke is only now being researched, but early indications reveal that it may prompt symptoms in people who were previously not aware of airway inflammation sensitivity or previously only experienced mild asthma symptoms. Additionally, young children whose mothers were exposed while pregnant to wildfire smoke are being found to have asthma. Tracking asthma symptoms that may be a result of wildfire smoke is important to help those with asthma today and so that we can understand more the direct impact of wildfire smoke on respiratory health in the future.

Our Wildfire Smoke Tracker tracks on the DailyBreath Maps:

  • the wildfire location,

  • the weather conditions at the wildfire location

  • options to view the current dispersion of wildfire surface or atmospheric smoke,

  • when viewing either, you may view an animated time-series of a 5-hour forecast of projected smoke dispersion.

  • when you record a symptom within the dispersion path of wildfire surface or atmospheric smoke, we are able to begin developing your personalized DailyBreath WS Risk Index based on your sensitivity to wildfire smoke.

(the overlay display is available initially only for wildfire activity in the continental US, but soon for wildfire activity in additional countries, then ultimately around the world)

DailyBreath SHOW, the Smoke Heatmap Overlay for Wildfires, powered by Monarch Weather, is available as an In-App Purchase for .99 annually.
