Matt Katz is a lifelong Mets fan. Playing ball with his son, Reuben, is what Father s Day memories are made of. But growing up, Matt s experience of Father s Day was about as complicated as a triple play. Did my birth father like baseball Does he like baseball Katz asked.

Richard E. Peltieris an associate professor of Environmental Health Sciences at University of Massachusetts AmherstWildfires once again are raging in Californi adidas samba a ndash; this time in the Los Angeles area, where five fires are currently burning. The fast-moving Thomas fire alone has burned more than 65,000 acres in three days. State agencies are issuing air quality alerts due to wildfire smoke. Atmospheric chemist Richard Peltier explains why smoke from wildfires is hazardous and what kinds of protection are effective.What substances in wildfire smoke are most dangerous to human health What kinds of impacts can they have Wood smoke contains a mixture of microscopic droplets and pa jordan rticles and invisible gases that spread downwind from the fire source. Surprisingly, relatively few studies have investigated the types of exposures we are now seeing in California. Most studies focus on very controlled laboratory experiments, or forest fire fighters who are working on controlled burning, or exposu af1 res people in developing nations experience when they use primitive cookstoves. None of these accurately reflects conditions that Californians are experiencing now.Wood smoke is a very complicated mixture of material in the air, and much of it is known to affect human health. It comes from lots of different fuel sources, including mature trees, dried leaves, forest litter and, unfortunately, local homes. The emissions vary depending on what material is |
