💨 Abstract

In Los Angeles, massive wildfires have caused widespread health risks due to noxious smoke containing harmful gases and particles. This smoke can cause inflammation, tissue damage, heart attacks, strokes, respiratory illnesses, and even dementia. Wildfire smoke also contains traces of chemicals, metals, plastics, and synthetic materials. To mitigate risks, experts recommend limiting outdoor activities and wearing N95 masks during wildfire smoke exposure.
