Always fun to read about considering I live about 20' from a busy highway.
If you haven’t already, investing in HEPA filtration is a good idea. Vacuuming and dusting is also supposed to help, I regret to report.

I tried to find it on his channel and couldn't. Got a link?
Here you go!
Thanks!
Do you really find that fun to read about or is that the plastic talking?

The plastic is stored in the balls
Try not to breathe at home.
I've tried to quit breathing, but it seems that I'm addicted.
I really need to replace my plastic clothing and blankets..
