Hundreds of deaths may be linked to the Eaton and Palisades fires, new study suggests.
The health effects of wildfires can linger long after the flames are extinguished.
A new study featured in this article — “Hundreds of deaths may be linked to the Eaton and Palisades fires” — highlights the long-term dangers of wildfire smoke exposure, especially in fire-prone states like California, Oregon, and others across the West and even New England as we saw with the smoke from the Canadian fires last year.
As the long-term health impacts of poor air quality become known, technology such as our Hummingbird® Air Purification System and Indoor Air Quality Monitor (measuring 18 different air and environmental variables) are proving essential in detecting and mitigating fire contaminants.
By actively neutralizing harmful pollutants — including fine particulates, VOCs, formaldehyde, and more — and providing real-time air quality insights, the Hummingbird system can both help protect and keep indoor spaces healthy.
This study reinforces why wildfire smoke is not just a short-term hazard, but a public health issue with lasting consequences. Education, awareness, and indoor air quality solutions should be part of the broader response.
