Wildfire smoke can irritate the eyes and airways, causing coughing, throat irritation, and sinus issues. Individuals with respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, or emphysema, as well as children and older adults, are particularly vulnerable. While pollutant levels are not expected to exceed national health standards, localized areas may experience unhealthy air quality. Residents in affected areas should take precautions to minimize exposure to smoke.
