Wildfire Health Impacts Can Last For Months Afterwards, Study Finds
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 7: People wear masks as they wait for the tramway to Roosevelt Island as ... More smoke from Canadian wildfires casts a haze over the area on June 7, 2023 in New York City. Air pollution alerts were issued across the United States due to smoke from wildfires that have been burning in Canada for weeks. (Photo by Eduardo) The health impacts of being exposed to air pollution from wildfires can last for months, even after a fire has ended, according to a new analysis. The study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found exposure to PM2.5 particle pollution from wildfire smoke can have health effects up to three months after the blazes have ended, well beyond the couple of days that previous studies have identified. According to the study, medium-term exposure to PM2.5 from wildfire smoke has been associated with increased risks for various conditions, including ischemic heart disease, hypertension, and asthma. The study also showed larger effects in neighborhoods with more vegetation or more economic disadvantages, as well as among people who have smoked at any point in their life. The researchers examined hospitalization records for the residents of 15 states between 2006–2016, and daily PM2.5 estimations. They found a three-month exposure to smoke PM2.5 was associated with increased hospitalization risks for most cardiorespiratory diseases In addition, the results for single-month lagged exposures suggested that estimated effects persisted up to three months after exposure. Dr. Yaguang Wei, assistant professor of environmental medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine said studies in the past have tended to focus on the short-term impacts of wildfire emissions in an interview. But Dr. Wei added larger wildfires can burn for up to a month and even after they have ended, particle emissions will remain the air and for another couple of weeks, which potentially means people could be exposed to air pollution over a period of several months. He said the report also highlights how some communities, particularly those with more unemployment, lower housing quality and higher levels of poverty can be more impacted by wildfire smoke. Dr. Wei said the study also highlights how many wildfires management strategies are outdated and place too much emphasis on protecting property, when they should put more emphasis on public health. 'Greater effort should be placed on wildfire management rather than relying solely on traditional air quality control strategies in response to the increasing wildfire activity,' he added. The dean for public health and chair of the Department of Public Health at Mount Sinai, Dr. Rosalind J. Wright said in a statement: 'The public and clinicians should take preventive measures during and after wildfires, such as wearing masks and using high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, which are becoming more affordable. 'Findings from this study underscore the need to continue such preventive measure for a prolonged period after the fires have ended. 'Collaborative efforts across federal, state, and local levels are essential to safeguard the health of communities nationwide,' added Dr. Wright. The chief executive and co-founder of Komodo Health, Dr. Arif Nathoo said the health consequences of wildfires linger long after the smoke clears in an email. Dr. Nathoo added Komodo Health's own research into the 2018 Northern California wildfires found that pediatric asthma-related emergency visits rose by 27% during the 14-day smoke wave, with asthma exacerbations for Hispanic and Latino children increasing by 95% compared to the baseline. 'The critical takeaway is that early signals can now guide timely interventions,' he said.

Alec Baldwin wants more kids
Alec Baldwin "really wants" more children. The 67-year-old actor is already dad to Ireland, 29, from his marriage to Kim Basinger and Carmen, 22, Rafael, nine, Leonardio, eight, Romeo, six, Eduardo and Lucia, both four, and two-year-old Ilaria with wife Hilaria, and though the yoga instructor currently feels too "tired" to add to their brood again, she knows it would be "beautiful" to have another baby. Hilaria, 41, told Tori Spelling on her 'misSPELLING' podcast: "Oh, Alec really wants more kids, like really, really ... "If it's meant to be, yeah, we'll see. It's always been a beautiful thing when we've had another kid, and I think that that's something that he leans into when he's thinking about how to create more joy in his life, is that they bring us such joy, and there's just so magical. "But we'll see. I'm tired right now." Hilaria and Alec underwent IVF treatment in 2019 but she tragically lost the baby "four or five months" into the pregnancy. She said: "I tried IVF one time, and it went not in the way that I wanted to, where everything seemed like it was going to be fine. "And then I lost the baby like four or five months, which was not a fun experience, obviously, and one that is all too common. "And so I got pregnant naturally, like I did with my other ones." And though they had a remaining embryo, Hilaria decided not to carry the baby herself, and so Lucia was born to a surrogate just months after brother Eduardo came into the world. She added: "I was like, I can't put another - this other embryo inside, because I feel like my body rejected that process. "I don't know why. And look, I mean, that probably is a completely irrational thing, there was no explanation to what had happened. "But I was so sure at that time, I was like, I can't. "So I did surrogacy at the same time that I was pregnant." 'The Baldwins' star gave birth to Ilaria in 2023, and Hilaria told Romper that she was probably her last child. Hilaria said: "This is probably, most definitely, almost completely my last baby. "I'm always afraid to say it. I was putting away my maternity clothes recently and was like, 'I'm afraid to give them away, because then I'll find out I'm pregnant.'"

The Liberation Day hangover
You're reading the Prompt 2025 newsletter. Sign up to get it in your inbox. Wednesday was 'Liberation Day,' the start of a multifront trade war President Donald Trump is waging against nearly all of our trading partners. The new tariff levels are higher overall than what he'd advertised on the campaign trail, and certainly worse than markets feared: minimum tariffs of 10 percent worldwide, plus even higher tariffs for many countries according to an odd formula that isn't directly based on their own trade policies towards the United States. Markets are plummeting, and recession fears are rising. I consulted my colleagues Megan McArdle and Eduardo Porter on the wreckage so far — and how we find our way out of it (if we can). Catherine Rampell: Happy post-'Liberation Day.' Markets are nosediving. Some companies have already announced layoffs or price increases. So first things first: How liberated are you feeling today? Megan McArdle: The kind of liberated where you wander the streets half-dressed, muttering to yourself. As I cut an avocado for my lunch, I wondered whether I shouldn't have sold the stocks in my 401(k) and stocked up on pre-liberation produce instead. Catherine: Well, the produce would only last you so long anyway. Hard to front-load perishables! Eduardo, how about you? Eduardo Porter: I'm kind of grateful that Mexico somehow skirted the worst of it. You know, being Mexican. But not feeling the liberation, generally. Catherine: Why do you think Mexico (and Canada) were largely absent from the announcement yesterday? Do you think there's another shoe to drop? Eduardo: There were powerful domestic lobby groups pushing to exempt Mexico and Canada. Catherine: So not because these two countries have done something so far to appease Trump then? Eduardo: No. Claudia Sheinbaum and Mark Carney have taken different paths, but they both got the same outcome. Megan: I wouldn't call Canada's stance 'accommodating,' much less 'appeasement.' I suspect this has a lot to do with the auto industry, which would basically grind to a halt with higher tariffs. MAGA voters like their big cars. Catherine: Was there anything else that was surprising about yesterday's tariff announcement or responses to it so far? Megan: Well, the fact that we have slapped tariffs on the penguins of the Heard and McDonald Islands. Eduardo: The weird algorithm was a surprise. It's our trade deficit with each country divided by imports from the country, then cut in half. Catherine: Right. It's a seemingly arbitrary formula that tells us nothing about the other country's trade barriers. Just whether we buy a lot of stuff from them. Eduardo: There is some logic to the algorithm. It means that the tariff goes to zero when trade is balanced. But pursuing balanced trade makes no sense. Catherine: Could there have been a more sophisticated or strategic way to do this? Megan: It depends on what your theory is. Are we trying to get countries to lower their trade barriers? Then you'd want tariffs that bore some relationship to those trade barriers. Do you just want to restore our manufacturing base? Focus on countries that export us a lot of goods. Want to contain China? Jack the Chinese tariffs up to nosebleed levels and go easy on countries like Vietnam that compete with China. Catherine: Eduardo, can you explain briefly why balanced trade — a zero trade deficit — is not a worthy objective? Trump says having trade deficits means we're getting 'ripped off.' Eduardo: You know the example: We run trade surpluses with our employers and trade deficits with the grocery store. What do we gain by bringing these trade balances to zero? Megan: Yes, even if you broadly want the United States to run trade surpluses and produce almost all of what we consume, there's no reason you want us to run a surplus or balance with every individual nation and territory. For example, we don't grow much coffee, so we're going to import a lot of it from Indonesia, Kenya, Colombia, etc. We should run deficits with those countries while having surpluses with others. It's lunatic to try to have exactly balanced trade with each place. Catherine: Certainly, coffee importers (among others) would agree with you. Lots of industries are recording huge market losses right now. Do you think that will be enough to convince Trump to find an off-ramp? Megan: Unfortunately, I think Trump is in YOLO mode, as I said in my most recent column: He can't run again, and despite his musings to the contrary, he's acting like he knows it. Who cares if there's political blowback when you never have to face the voters again? Even more unfortunately, I suspect these tariffs will be sticky. Hard to picture a Democrat running against them when they need the Rust Belt to win … and even harder to picture a Republican doing so. Eduardo: I'm pinning my hopes on a 10-20-30 percent drop in the markets. Catherine: He did once care about the stock market ticker as a metric of his success! Megan: That was when he still had a chance for another term! Our best hope is Congress; Chuck Grassley is proposing a measure that would cause tariffs to expire after 60 days unless Congress ratifies them. I mean, the markets have been staggering like a drunk ever since Trump slapped tariffs on Canada and Mexico. His response was more and bigger tariffs. Eduardo: Grassley … the global economy pins its hopes on the U.S. farm business. Catherine: Megan brings up a question I've been pondering. Trump's trade agenda has been criticized by people of all political persuasions, including Dems. But Dems have not exactly been the most pro-trade bunch when they've been in power (e.g., Joe Biden was similarly critical of Trump's first-term tariffs, then kept almost all of them in place). How can Dems maintain their credibility on this issue when warning voters about the dangers from Trump trade policies? Or do you think their criticisms will eventually fizzle? Megan: I think it will be really hard. Tariffs are one of those policy proposals that are simple, intuitive and wrong. Eduardo: Dems do have a problem here. They adopted much of Trump's first-term protectionism. Megan: To be fair, the tariffs are now polling badly … but in three years, interests will have grown up around them and status quo bias will have set in. Which is why Republicans were unable to repeal Obamacare, even though it polled badly and they had a lot of base energy for repeal. Catherine: Sounds like you're fairly pessimistic we can find our way out of this. Are we doomed to another Smoot-Hawley and all that came after? Megan: Let me put it this way: My washing machine is 20 years old and still functioning but could conk out any day. I spent part of the morning trying to figure out whether Speed Queen uses foreign-sourced parts. Eduardo: We are finding our way to a new politically viable position on trade. It's not going to be like the liberal consensus that gave us the World Trade Organization and allowed the Obama administration to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership. But it will likely be more liberal than what Trump wants. I'm guessing more like what the world looked like under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, before the WTO came into being, when (big) countries had more power to do their will, less constrained by global rules. Megan: I think it's safe to say that the liberal trade consensus that has endured for my whole adult life is over. Other countries will impose reciprocal tariffs — and interests will grow up around those tariffs, too. The WTO was the work of decades. It will take decades to restore. I don't know what comes next, but it will not be as good as what we had. Catherine: Well, at least we know what kind of produce we should be hoarding in the meantime.
