The air around Southern California feels like smoke soup because of wildfires. What does that mean for your health and daily routines?
Carbon monoxide “can persist in the atmosphere for about a month and can be transported great distances,” officials added. “At the high altitude mapped in these images, the gas has little effect on the air we breathe; however, strong winds can carry it downwards to where it can significantly impact air quality,” the statement continued. “Carbon monoxide plays a role in both air pollution and climate change.”
The devastating toll of this year’s fire season goes far beyond air quality in California, however. As of Tuesday, 25 people had died in the firestorm.More than 3.2 million acres have burned across the state this year, the largest amount on record. The fires have also destroyed at least 4,100 structures and forced more than 60,000 people from their homes.

Photos: Wildfires shroud West Coast in smokeWildfires raging in the West have killed more than 30 people with dozens of others missing and tens of thousands more in California, Oregon, and Washington forced to flee their homes. I thought they welcomed fires in those places. Residents didn't seem to mind rioters burning buildings. I really don't get how is that here in the number one country around the world, we experience wild fires in the same area every year? We got more technology than the rest to prevent fires from consuming like a cigar the land of working families , with respect. This sadly will be the new normal with climate change.
