How do wildfires transform naturally occurring soil metals into airborne carcinogens, and what are the immediate health consequences for nearby communities?

A new study reveals that wildfires can transform the benign form of chromium in soil into a carcinogenic airborne particle, chromium 6, which poses significant health risks to firefighters and nearby communities. Researchers found that in areas with intense and prolonged wildfires, toxic chromium levels were seven times higher than in unburned areas. This transformation is exacerbated by prolonged drought conditions, further increasing health risks.
