Wildfire smoke is risky for everybody, especially when the particulate matter that is being released is in large quantities for long periods, like what is happening in California right now.
When fine particulate matter is inhaled, it can trigger inflammation in the body. Symptoms can range from the mild, such as burning or itchy eyes, runny nose, scratchy throat, and headache, to severe respiratory issues.
Any level of air pollution, including from wildfires, can be dangerous for your health. Just how dangerous depends on many factors.
