In 2018, there were 19 days when the air in and around Los Angeles considered unsafe to breathe, particularly for children, adults over 60, women who were pregnant, people with asthma, or other sensitive groups.*

As our climate changes, experts expect dryer summers and an increased risk of wildfire and accompanying smoke to continue year over year.

According to the EPA, exposure to unhealthy levels of particulate pollution, including pollution from wildfire smoke, has been linked with reduced lung development, asthma attacks, and an increase in emergency room visits… as well as a higher risk of heart failure, stroke, and premature death.

You can mitigate the risks of air pollution by staying indoors when the air is unsafe to breathe, and wearing a mask with a high quality pm2.5 filter when going outside.
