Resource Highlight: Wildfire Smoke and Public Health

As wildfires across the Pacific Northwest continue to churn out smoke, air quality across the region has deteriorated to unhealthy levels.

Journalists interested in learning more about the public health impacts of smoke exposure - and what communities can do to mitigate those impacts - might want to check out this session recording from our 2021 virtual wildfire workshop. Experts address those questions and more, including how wildfires adversely affect agricultural workers, and the new research that’s investigating how fires impact water quality.
