<p>Wildfires create compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are formed in the combustion process at high temperatures. These compounds are highly toxic.</p> <p><a href="https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/mengin_fac/473/">New research from Portland State&rsquo;s Elliott Gall,</a>&nbsp;associate professor in Mechanical and Materials Engineering, examined how long harmful chemicals found in wildfire smoke can persist and the most effective ways to remove them with everyday household cleaners.</p>

We all know to wash our clothes after sitting at a campfire to get rid of that clinging smell of smoke. But cleaning our homes after wildfire smoke has moved through the area isn’t as commonly taught—and according to a new study, it’s a necessary habit to keep harmful chemicals from hanging around.

A new study from Portland State University says chemicals from smoke were found on everyday items like drinking glasses and cotton clothing.
