A new University of Iowa-led study has determined that wildfires since 2015 have led to rises in surface ozone pollution across much of the continental United States, creating unhealthy air and contributing to hundreds additional premature deaths annually. The researchers warn surface ozone pollution could continue to worsen as wildfires become more prevalent.
