A study published in the journal Nature Communications reveals that wildfires in Northern California are releasing toxic chromium into the air, posing a health risk to firefighters and those living downwind. The research conducted by Stanford University scientists found dangerous levels of chromium in areas severely burned by wildfires in 2019 and 2020. Chromium 6, the most toxic form of chromium, is associated with health issues such as lung cancer. The study highlights the need for further research into the effects of wildfires on other heavy metals in soil and emphasizes the importance of protective measures during wildfires.

The government is now seeking a compromise through a cross-party committee. [Extracted from the article]
