Episode notes

INSIGHT

Wildfire Toxicity

Wildfires involving structures are more hazardous than regular wildfires due to the burning of synthetic materials.
These materials release harmful chemicals, making the resulting smoke more toxic.

INSIGHT

Molten Aluminum Risk

The LA fires created molten aluminum from burning cars, indicating extremely high temperatures.
Airborne metal particles from this process pose a health risk and linger in the environment for months.

ADVICE

Post-Wildfire Detox

Implement a "smoke detox" for your home after wildfire exposure.
This involves cleaning surfaces and filtering the air to remove lingering toxins.
