Los Angeles wildfires: How the smoke exposure affects the body and the brain

A series of Los Angeles wildfires have brought the lives of the citizens to standstill. Thousands of people were forced to evacuate their homes due to the raging flames. The massive wildfires broke out in Los Angeles fueled by high winds and scorching conditions destroying numerous buildings and houses. The apocalyptic scene led many people to make a hasty exit, leaving behind their cars and escaping on foot for safety.

Wildfires not only cause loss of property and lead to destruction, but also trigger a range of health conditions among people around it. Wildfire smoke, a mix of gases and fine particles from burning trees, plants, buildings, and other material, can make anyone sick, but people with certain health conditions are worst affected by them.
