How does smoke from distant wildfires affect health?

Smoke from 900 miles away can still be harmful to human health By the time wildfire smoke makes it to Colorado from more than 900 miles away, only the smallest smoke particles remain. That concerns scientists at CSU. Author: Cory Reppenhagen Updated: 10:44 PM MDT July 13, 2021 FORT COLLINS, Colo. Most of the wildfire smoke in Colorado has been coming from more than 900 miles away. From big wildfires in places like California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. By the time that smoke reaches us, only the smallest smoke particles are left in the air. That concerns scientists at Colorado State University.  The smaller the pollutant, the more harmful it is to human health.

Outstanding Grad: Monica Ortiz, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences 10 May, 2021 Monica Ortiz Monica Ortiz, who hails from Texas, arrived at Colorado State University as a transfer student in 2019 because she did not feel passionate about her studies. Ortiz said that she also did not receive “proper” advice about college and figuring out a career path. She always had an interest in environmental issues and, after conducting some research online, was drawn to CSU for its programs. Ortiz moved to Fort Collins and connected with Erin Reichert, undergraduate and internship coordinator for the Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

Smoke from local wildfires can affect the health of Colorado residents, shows study

Smoke from local wildfires can affect the health of Colorado residents, shows study Smoke from local wildfires can affect the health of Colorado residents, in addition to smoke from fires in forests as far away as California and the Pacific Northwest. Researchers at Colorado State University, curious about the health effects from smoke from large wildfires across the Western United States, analyzed six years of hospitalization data and death records for the cities along the Front Range, which reaches deep into central Colorado from southern Wyoming. They found that wildfire smoke was associated with increased hospitalizations for asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and some cardiovascular health outcomes. They also discovered that wildfire smoke was associated with deaths from asthma and cardiovascular disease, but that there was a difference in the effects of smoke from local fires and that from distant ones.
