Smoke Sickens People In Their Homes

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that wildfire smoke now affects over a billion homes worldwide each year. Citing research from the World Economic Forum and the journal Science, he explains that toxic wildfire pollution penetrates indoor spaces, contributing to respiratory illnesses like asthma and COPD. McIntyre highlights that traditional advice to shelter indoors is no longer sufficient, and new home technologies are needed to protect health during wildfire events.
