I do not know about you, but I really love the smell of burning leaves in the winter time! Many places around the country do this. It is just a way of life, Now, regardless of how much I love the smell, I am well aware that this damages the air quality and causes poor air quality, and this is also why I have a whole home air purification system, but with a whole home air purification system you can combat the poor air quality outside with no trouble at all, you will never have to worry about allergies and dealing with it. Though a portable air cleaner is quite the investment, it is a well worthwhile one if you both have the money to invest and if your local area has poor air quality, like mine does. Part of it is because of the burning leaves that I absolutely love the odor of. But even after a while of that, I do notice the air quality getting poor and my allergies start acting up. When this hits its height in the winter months of the year with all of the burning leaves, I tend to stay indoors with my whole home air cleaner no matter what, then only going to work is the only time I leave my house for any super long length of time. I smell the burning leaves and enjoy that then, and when I come home, I am just in the presence of the whole home air purification system that helps me deal with poor air quality all together.
