Not covid, but another great reason to keep masks on hand: Fine particulate matter increases all sorts of other health issues like asthma, high blood pressure, some cancers, and even strokes. Pollution is just as bad for you as covid in some senses.
By Alden Woods and Kiyomi Taguchi
As Baby Boomers hit retirement, about 1 in 6 Americans is now over the age of 65. The number of Americans living with dementia is projected to skyrocket — but the proportion of older Americans who develop dementia has actually decreased. The exact reason why is uncertain, but various lifestyle and environmental factors can influence a person’s risk of cognitive decline.
One recently discovered risk is air pollution. Studies have linked exposure to a type of air pollution called fine particulate matter, or PM2.5, with an increased risk of developing dementia, and researchers suspect that some sources of PM2.5 may pose a greater risk than others.
New research led by the University of Washington found that wildfire smoke is especially hazardous. An analysis of the health care records of 1.2 million Southern California residents found that higher long-term smoke exposure was associated with a significant increase in the odds that a person would be diagnosed with dementia.
The researchers presented their findings at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in July and published the full study Nov. 25 in JAMA Neurology.
“There have been studies that have found total PM2.5 is related to people developing dementia, but no one had looked specifically at wildfire PM2.5,” said lead author Joan Casey, a UW associate professor of environmental & occupational health sciences. “Wildfire smoke is a different animal, in that it’s much spikier. There are many days where there’s no wildfire smoke, and there are some days where exposure is really, really extreme.”
Researchers analyzed the health records of 1.2 million members aged 60 and older of Kaiser Permanente Southern California between 2008 and 2019, all of whom were free from dementia at the start of the study period. They estimated each person’s long-term exposure to both wildfire and non-wildfire PM2.5 as a three-year rolling average, and then identified people who received a dementia diagnosis.
Researchers found that for every 1 microgram per cubic meter (µg/m3) increase in three-year average wildfire PM2.5 concentration, the odds of a dementia diagnosis increased by 18%. Exposure to non-wildfire PM2.5 also increased a person’s risk of dementia, but to a much lesser degree.
“One microgram per meter cubed might sound fairly small, but we have to think about how people are exposed to wildfire smoke,” Casey said. “Most days they aren’t exposed at all, so this might represent a few days of exposure at a concentration of something like 300 µg/m3, where the AQI is over 200 in someone’s community. When you think about it, it’s actually a few really severe wildfire smoke days that might translate into increased risk.”
That risk further increased among racialized people and those living in high-poverty census tracts, following long-term trends in which vulnerable populations often experience disproportionate effects of environmental hazards. The authors suggested that disparities might be related to lower-quality housing, which can increase the amount of smoke that enters people’s homes, or lower-income families’ inability to afford air filtration systems.
The study period does not include the summers of 2020 and 2021, which produced the most extreme wildfire seasons recorded in California. The climate crisis has drastically increased the frequency and severity of wildfires across the American West, introducing “smoke season” in many West Coast regions The influx of smoke has chipped away at air quality improvements made over the last century.
“The main culprit here is climate change,” Casey said. “It’s a global problem. While individuals can protect themselves with air filters and masks, we need a global solution to climate change. It’s going to have to be many-pronged — many people have to be involved to solve this highly complex problem.”
Co-authors on this study are Holly Elser of the University of Pennsylvania; Timothy Frankland of the Kaiser Permanente Hawaii Center for Integrated Health Research; Chen Chen and Tarik Benmarhnia of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego; Sara Tartof and Gina Lee of Kaiser Permanente Southern California; Elizabeth Rose Mayeda of UCLA; Dr. Alexander Northrop of Columbia University; and Jacqueline Torres of UC San Francisco.

if anyone is looking for something to make their air a little more breathable and has the money for things, here are the tools i wish i’d had before wildfire smoke ruined my lungs:
You want a mask. Respro remains my go-to. Note that this is the specific type of filter you want for whatever mask shell you purchase—charcoal filter + hepa.
Why HEPA? Because you want things rated PM2.5 (that’s rated for particulate matter 2.5 microns or less in diameter. That’s small enough to get into your bloodstream after you inhale it and cause the kind of damage that gave me, a person with no family history of asthma, absolutely shitty asthma and chronic pain on top of it.
Any amount of work you’ll be doing outside? Wear a mask. Wear a mask, wear a mask, wear a mask. I don’t know if KN-95s for viruses will work as well for smoke as things like a respro, but if it’s what you’ve got, wear it, because that’s better than nothing.
You might also be able to find PM2.5-rated masks at hardware stores, in the US.
You want the Coway Airmega AP-1512HH Mighty. Packs a hell of a punch cleaning up your air. Keep it in whatever room of your house you happen to be in, but especially the room you sleep in. Sleeping in smoke will fuck you up, and irritated lungs will keep you from sleeping, which will make everything worse and less comfortable, which is a vicious cycle.
Always have to mention Corsi-Rosenthal boxes. They’re basically DIY HEPA filters. While they often cost less than manufactured air filters like the Coway, the cost of the RIGHT materials is in total not a ton less expensive than the Coway (although it still was less expensive last I checked) and the Coway allows you to clean, maintain, change filters w/o building a new one etc. However, CR boxes are verified to work against viruses and smoke and have caught on in a big way as DIY air filtration to protect yourself from covid:
In all, the key words are “HEPA” and “PM2.5”

Indoor vs. Outdoor Air Pollution: Understanding the Key Differences
Indoor vs. Outdoor Air Pollution: Understanding the Key Differences
Air pollution is a significant concern in today's world, impacting human health, the environment, and climate stability. However, while outdoor air pollution is often more discussed, indoor air pollution is an equally pressing issue that many people overlook. Understanding the key differences between indoor and outdoor air pollution is crucial for improving air quality and protecting our health.
Outdoor Air Pollution: A Widespread Threat
Outdoor air pollution typically refers to the contaminants found in the air outside our homes and buildings. It arises primarily from industrial activities, vehicle emissions, construction sites, and agriculture. Common pollutants include particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
One of the most concerning aspects of outdoor air pollution is its ability to travel long distances. Pollutants can move across borders and affect communities far from the source of pollution. Major urban centers, where traffic congestion and industrial activity are dense, experience higher levels of outdoor pollution. Additionally, the rise in wildfires, particularly in regions like California and Australia, has contributed significantly to outdoor air pollution in recent years. The smoke from these fires contains harmful particulate matter and toxic chemicals that degrade air quality on a massive scale.
Outdoor air pollution has been linked to a wide range of health issues, including respiratory diseases like asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Long-term exposure can also contribute to cardiovascular problems, stroke, and even premature death. Vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing conditions are particularly at risk.
Indoor Air Pollution: The Invisible Threat Inside
Indoor air pollution refers to the presence of harmful pollutants inside homes, offices, schools, and other enclosed spaces. While many people are aware of outdoor air pollution, indoor air pollution often goes unnoticed due to its invisibility and lack of immediate symptoms. Indoor pollutants can come from a variety of sources, including tobacco smoke, household cleaning products, cooking activities, building materials, and even the furniture in your home.
Common indoor air pollutants include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), secondhand smoke, formaldehyde, radon, and a range of VOCs from paints, solvents, and air fresheners. The concentration of these pollutants can be higher indoors because of poor ventilation, lack of airflow, and the continuous release of chemicals from household items.
Interestingly, indoor air can sometimes be more polluted than outdoor air, particularly in poorly ventilated spaces or buildings with inadequate air filtration systems. For example, in a tightly sealed home, pollutants can accumulate rapidly, creating an unhealthy living environment. Cooking with gas stoves, using unvented heaters, or burning candles can all contribute to increased levels of indoor pollutants.
The health effects of indoor air pollution can be severe. Short-term exposure may cause eye irritation, headaches, and dizziness, while long-term exposure can lead to chronic respiratory problems, heart disease, and even lung cancer. Children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions like asthma are particularly vulnerable to the dangers of indoor air pollution.
Key Differences and How to Address Them
The primary difference between indoor and outdoor air pollution lies in their sources and exposure patterns. While outdoor pollution results from industrial activities, transportation, and natural events, indoor pollution comes from household products, activities, and building materials. Furthermore, outdoor air pollution affects large populations over wide areas, whereas indoor pollution tends to be more localized, with higher concentrations in individual buildings.
To combat both indoor and outdoor air pollution, it's essential to improve air quality on all fronts. Reducing emissions from vehicles and factories, promoting clean energy, and enforcing air quality regulations are key steps to mitigate outdoor pollution. On the indoor front, improving ventilation, using air purifiers, avoiding the use of toxic chemicals, and ensuring proper maintenance of heating and cooking appliances can help reduce indoor air pollution.
In conclusion, both indoor and outdoor air pollution pose significant risks to our health, but the ways in which they affect us differ. Awareness, proper ventilation, and responsible practices can go a long way in minimizing the armful effects of both. Protecting air quality is not just about cleaner cities; it’s about cleaner, healthier homes too.
