In recent years, many people have learned first-hand how destructive wildfires can be. Even if they weren’t forced to evacuate their homes, millions

A new study finds that wildfires are having a major impact on trends in fine particulate pollution and their health impacts, especially in the American West. The researchers found that fire emissions have reversed pollution gains made in our region, and that premature deaths associated with such pollution are up by nearly 700 annually.

Increased severity and frequency of wildfires in the western U.S. from 2000 to 2020 was the main cause of the region's worsening air quality.

New study shows wildfire smoke is reversing progress made on reducing air pollution, posing health risks across wide regions. Read more.

The frequency and ferocity of wildfires across the U.S. West have negated the improvements in air quality achieved over the past two decades, a new study has found. From 2000 through 2020, air pollution has deteriorated in this part of the country due to these blazes, causing a surge of 670 premature deaths annually during…

After half a century of efforts to clean up air quality in the U.S., new research finds the toll from wildfires may be overwhelming health gains in the West.Using mathematical modeling to bridge gaps in data coverage, the Lancet Planetary Health study ties a rise in wildfire frequency and intensity to 670 additional premature deaths per year in the West from 2000 to

The devastating wildfires in the United States and Canada have left a significant impact on air quality and public health.

Unhealthy air from wildfires is causing hundreds of additional deaths in the western United States every year, a new study claims.

A new study from the University of Iowa concludes that wildfires originating in the western United States and Canada have erased air quality gains over the past two decades and caused an increase of premature deaths in fire-prone areas and downwind regions.

Unhealthy air from wildfires is causing hundreds of additional deaths in the western United States every year, a new study claims.
