   The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality released its second annual Wildfire Smoke Trends report. It’s pretty easy to sum up the findings, said Tom Roick, air quality monitoring manager for DEQ. “The number of unhealthy air quality days related to wildfires is definitely increasing across the state, particularly in the last five years,” he said.  It’s not just the number of days with bad air that’s on the rise. It’s also the intensity of the smoke and its geographic reach.   For instance, from 1988 through 2014, the DEQ says Eugene/Springfield didn’t have a single day of unhealthy air quality due to wildfire smoke. Since then, there have been 28 days, with more than half of those deemed unhealthy for all residents, not just those considered to be at risk due to age or health conditions.
