I know FF face a much higher risk of cancer, but much of it comes through absorption of toxins ,which is why showering and laundering of turnouts is now pretty standard after fires .

Id smell it leaching out my skin for a couple days of hot showers .

It’s amazing what the body absorbs. I did a summer doing plumbing. My hands were always green and my piss stunk like copper Pennies

So far this morning, it’s better here than it was yesterday. But it’s still hazy. Looks like a lot of NY state in the center (north to south) is really bad right now. Same for areas of PA.

In the "Hazard" zone of the air quality index now.

 

I wonder what effect this can/will have on livestock and wildlife from breathing in the particulate and ingesting it in their food? Geez, even our water quality. Can't be good!

How will this pollution of air effect the antlers on whitetail bucks this year in NY??

This isn’t going to impact antler growth or livestock. Each year, this is completely normal for many western states and Canada. It’s only because we are seeing larger than normal impacts that some of you are overly worried. The Earth has evolved over millions of years with wildfires and smoke. If it bothers you, stay inside as best you can.

up there is a different story. after it all burns off there should be some pretty good habitat in the next few years. in all the areas it's burning. can't imagine living downwind of all that and close though. imagine some folks up there had to have lost an old cabin that's been there for generations and littered with stuff that'd recall old hunting memories that can't be replaced.

It's bad in Albany.  Had to take my brother in for a doc appointment.  Could only see about 1/4 mile.
