A team of university researchers has launched a planned 10-year project to examine pollution from Los Angeles’ recent wildfires and study its long-term impacts on health.

The researchers, including those from UCLA’s Fielding School of Public Health, say they want to look at what exposure to pollution from thousands of burned structures does to people over time.

Specifically, they say, they’ll look at how Angelenos’ respiratory, neurological, cardiovascular, immune and reproductive systems may be affected.

Although the project is expected to go on for years, some answers may be available much sooner.
