California’s largest wildfire of the year burns near Yosemite

As climate change causes more frequent, and more severe wildfires the issue of harmful chromium-6 pollution will likely be exacerbated. Wildfire smoke and ash inhalation is already a known public health risk, but the additional knowledge of the risks and threats posed by chromium-6 is even more worrying.
Wildfires have always existed and to attribute the fires and their health impacts solely to climate change is alarmist and untrue. Over the last 20 years, the area burned annually by fires has trended downwards. Poor land management rather than climate change is the more likely culprit for these deadly blazes.
