The BBC interviewed Dr. Kari Nadeau, dean of the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, about the impact to human health of exposure to wildfire smoke.
"This is dangerous smoke; smoke sees no boundaries, (and) it can go around the world within four days,” said Dr. Kari Nadeau, dean of the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health.

The report ran widely, including on NPR in the U.S.
