Surgically Clean Air
Air quality solutions that help you breathe pure and breathe healthy.
With the recent wildfires across Southern California, the importance of indoor air quality has once again come to the forefront. Beyond the visible destruction of homes and natural landscapes, wildfire smoke presents a significant and often overlooked threat to human health.
Short-Term Effects of Wildfire Smoke on the Lungs
Inhaling wildfire smoke can lead to immediate respiratory symptoms, even in healthy individuals. These symptoms may include:
- Cough and throat irritation: Inflammation of the mucous membranes causes persistent coughing and sore throats.
- Shortness of breath: Fine particulate matter can inflame the airways, making it more difficult to breathe.
- Exacerbation of preexisting conditions: Individuals with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other respiratory conditions may experience worsened symptoms or flare-ups.
Long-Term Effects of Wildfire Smoke on Lung Health
Chronic exposure to wildfire smoke, particularly for those living in wildfire-prone areas like California, can lead to long-term health consequences:
- Decreased lung function: Prolonged exposure to fine particulate matter can result in a gradual decline in lung function over time.
- Increased risk of respiratory diseases: Repeated exposure has been linked to an increased risk of developing chronic bronchitis and other lung diseases.
