Making the news

L.A. fires are bringing ash 100 miles offshore. Here’s how it may impact oceans The Eaton and Palisades fires produced ash and debris that coated ocean waters far off the California coast.

Smoke and ash from wildfires are linked to a number of serious health problems in humans, including heart disease, asthma and certain types of cancer and dementia.

It’s more unclear how wildfire smoke pollution impacts ocean species.

Marine Ecosystem Survey Encounters a New Variable: Falling Ash from Los Angeles Fires The devastating fires in Los Angeles have numerous secondary effects as scientists are finding out now off the coast of Southern California.

Researchers from @scrippsocean.bsky.social and @noaa.gov conducting routine sampling off the coast documented ash extending 100 miles offshore as the #Palisades and #EatonFires raged. They are now tracking the likely effects of toxics on the marine ecosystem. bit.ly/4aE8eXx #LAFires
