Here's a photo I found of it.  |
We were in Fairbanks in the middle of June and nobody was burning wood in their stoves as it was unusually warm for that time of year. During the winter in Fairbanks, there probably is a big difference regarding pollution. Perhaps we were breathing pollution particles we couldn’t see but I have a sense that the pollution level is much more in the winter than in the summer when residents are not burning wood to stay warm. When we lived in Tennessee, a number of residents burned wood during the winter and there was likely a high level of pollution there too.
