Won't running the exhaust fans draw in more smoke? I have an ac unit going and an air filter but turned off Blues Heron Thursday #4

I don't know anything about how exhaust systems work wnylib Thursday #6

If it vents outside of the apartment it will draw in outside air. Some just recirculate through a grease filter Blues Heron Thursday #8

I have turned them off. wnylib Thursday #11
