US faces increased wildfire smoke
A new study finds that wildfires, particularly those from rising Canadian fires and increased land burning in the U.S., have reversed decades of progress in reducing smog levels, leading to higher ground-level ozone. Since 2015, smog levels have increased by 4%, contributing to an estimated rise of 318 deaths annually from ozone-related health issues. The research highlights how wildfire smoke releases precursor chemicals that form smog, with climate change intensifying fire seasons and worsening air quality.
