Episode notes
Post‑Fire Air Shock In Santa Monica
- Mike Feldstein tested homes in Santa Monica six weeks after the LA wildfire and found dramatic, fluctuating contamination levels throughout the day.
- He contrasted two identical apartments one floor apart where one was almost normal and the other was 'uninhabitable' due to carpet contamination.
Urban Wildfires Create Novel Toxics
- Burning homes and cars releases a cocktail of toxic chemicals far beyond regular forest smoke, including melted metals and lithium battery byproducts.
- Unknowns such as thousands of burned lithium batteries mean long‑term contamination and health risks remain unresolved.
Clean Air At The Point Of Use
- Treat indoor air like water: clean it close to the point of consumption rather than relying solely on upstream systems like HVAC.
- Use effective air scrubbers in living spaces to remove contaminants already present on carpets and furniture.
