President Trump's recent visit to California, amid devastating wildfires, turned out to be a mere photo opportunity that failed to address deeper concerns. The lingering air quality issues posed by wildfire smoke, laden with toxic particulates, were overshadowed by typical political finger-pointing about recovery efforts. Californians are grappling with the trauma of climate disasters and the reality of urban firestorms, which threaten not only their homes but also their health through pollution from city infrastructure. The psychological and physical impacts create a new dimension of worry for those affected.
"Wildfire smoke can be even worse for you, especially because it can briefly smother whole communities with blankets of toxic particulate matter."
"It’s one thing to worry about breathing in smoke...but to consider inhaling an aerosolized city poses a much direr threat."
