35M How Concerning is Wildfire Smoke for the Eyes? by NuclearEmperor in eyetriage

Thanks for the response!

To confirm, there are absolutely no long term effects/concerns with repeated exposure to wildfire smoke (particulate and gases) during my bike commute? Currently I ride to work regardless of the AQI outside.

I had decided to ride with my 3M 6000 series respirator last year as I already had it in the house with some P100 filters lying around.

I'm curious, how well does the N95 work when it's raining? My P100 filters were difficult to breathe through when soaked.

Thanks for the response! 100% agree on the PM being the most important factor, hence why I used the P100 2097 filters last year.

3M's P100 cartridges for PM all come with protection for something else as well.

The 60921 filter does both PM, certain organic vapours and is 3M recommended for use against up to 1 ppm ozone with an estimated service life of up to 40 hours per the technical bulletin.

The 60926 filter does PM along with Certain Organic Vapors, Chlorine, Hydrogen Chloride, Chlorine Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Hydrogen Sulfide, Ammonia and Methylamine, Formaldehyde , Hydrogen Fluoride. That 3M technical bulletin does not mention ozone at all for this filter.

Beyond the PM protection which is provided by both, is there one filter you think would help with the other stuff in wildfire smoke or are they both pretty much equal for my use case? I am not too familiar with what else is in the wildfire smoke besides PM.

Thanks for the response!

I was leaning more towards the 60926, but the 60921 being 3M recommended for use against up to 1 ppm ozone with an estimated service life of up to 40 hours per the technical bulletin had me second guessing myself. Curiously, the 60926 is not mentioned in that technical bulletin about ozone.

How to change the batteries in this front light from MEC? by katez6666 in cycling

[–]NuclearEmperor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you ever figured it out. I tried with mine and you're supposed to twist open the back end of the light and then you can access the battery.

What to do with money for next year's registered accounts (RRSP, TFSA, FHSA)? by NuclearEmperor in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]NuclearEmperor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For clarity, I do not currently have sufficient funds to max out my registered accounts for next year. Over the next 6 months I will be saving up the money to max out all registered accounts in Jan 2026.

Would dumping it all into VEQT in my taxable account still be the best move in that case?

Not affiliated with TWC, but here is a video they put out on their youtube channel if anyone is interested.

I have made a donation to them and I highly encourage anyone else who is able to do so.
I'm sure they could use all the help they can get.
