In a recent article by the SF Chronicle, AQRC Director Tony Wexler discussed the recent smoky air around Northern California. 

“The fact that you can or cannot smell a pollutant has nothing to do with its health effects,” said Anthony Wexler, director of the UC Davis Air Quality Research Center.

While the smoke smell dissipated in the Davis and Sacramento area on Wednesday and Thursday, the air quality was still dismal and precautions should be taken by all. 

With hazy red skies hitting the East Coast from wildfires, our California researchers have some hot tips for those new to the smoky season.
