Studies co-authored by UCLA Fielding's Dr. Miriam Marlier show extent of exposure and impact of wildfire smoke in 2025 Los Angeles County fires and 2018 blazes across California.

The team has trained more than 300 workers under a state contract to support debris clean-up and reconstruction efforts after the devastating Palisades and Altadena blazes.

Dr. Michael Jerrett and Dr. Yifang Zhu, both professors in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health's Department of Environmental Health Sciences, among coauthors of research by University of California team.

Bloomberg referenced research led by UCLA Fielding's Dr. Yifang Zhu, professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences.

The Los Angeles Times interviewed Dr. Yifang Zhu, professor in the UCLA Fielding School's Department of Environmental Health Sciences, about her team's work to install air quality sensors in Los Angeles County in the aftermath of the 2025 wildfires.

Dr. Yifang Zhu, professor in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health's Department of Environmental Health Sciences, was quoted by the Los Angeles Times in a report on her work on the impact of the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.

The project – the Community Action Project AIR – provides real-time information to residents about air quality and safety as reconstruction work progresses in Pacific Palisades and adjacent neighborhoods.

Dr. David Eisenman and Dr. Kirsten Schwarz, both with the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, are among the co-authors of the study.

Dr. Michael Jerrett and Dr. Yifang Zhu, both professors in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health's Department of Environmental Health Sciences, and researcher Dr. Yuan Yao were all quoted in U.S. News & World Report about their research into air quality and EV charging stations.

The study found pollutant concentrations were significantly higher closer to the charging facilities than the same pollutants were in urban areas generally in Los Angeles County.

Prof. Hamid Arabzadeh appointed to new state Smoke Claims and Remediation Task Force.

A team led by UCLA Fielding School of Public Health researchers has found that both the distribution and reliability of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) are extremely unequal in the U.S.
