FORT COLLINS, Colo. Most of the wildfire smoke in Colorado has been coming from more than 900 miles away.
From big wildfires in places like California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
By the time that smoke reaches us, only the smallest smoke particles are left in the air. That concerns scientists at Colorado State University.
The smaller the pollutant, the more harmful it is to human health.
