OAKLAND (KPIX) — We know the smoke from wildfires is bad. Now we know more about how bad it is. A new study released Friday shows wildfire smoke is much more hazardous than other common forms of air pollution. Tom Corringham Ph.D. and fellow researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego looked at 14 years of air quality and hospital admissions data in Southern California. Their report showed wildfire smoke is up to 10 times more harmful than air pollution from car exhaust, factories or power plants. “Our study is the first to show an effect at the population level,” Dr. Corringham said. “These are significant impacts that extend beyond just the area of the fire and have wide-reaching implications.” Corringham said wildfires often release tiny particles called PM 2.5 that are much smaller in diameter than a human hair.
