Canadian wildfires led to spike in asthma ER visits, especially in the Northeast

Published Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:44:49 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The smoke from Canadian wildfires that drifted into the U.S. led to a spike in people with asthma visiting emergency rooms — particularly in the New York area.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published two studies Thursday about the health impacts of the smoke, which shrouded city skylines with an orange haze in late spring. A medical journal also released a study this week. When air quality worsens, “an asthmatic feels it before anyone else,” said Dr. Adrian Pristas, a pulmonologist based in Hazlet, New Jersey, who remembered a flood of calls from patients in June during the days of the heaviest smoke. People with asthma often wheeze, are breathless, have chest tightness and have either nighttime or early-morning coughing. “I have no doubt that every asthmatic had an uptick in symptoms,” Pristas said. “Some were able to manage it on their own, but some had to call for help.”Each of the studies looked at different geographic areas — one was n...

Recent storms not helping apple-picking season in Colorado

Published Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:44:49 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- The heavy rain this year is making the trees more colorful, but it's not having the same effect with fall apples. Some orchards in Colorado shut down for the season because of the low crop yield from the late frost, hail and rain. The front range experienced one of the rainiest seasons yet. This rain significantly affects crops because it leaves them susceptible to frost, delayed growth and disease, said Gus Westerman, the Dolores County director at Colorado State University Extension. Orchards still offering apple picking for fall 2023 "Whenever we're experiencing a wet spring, sometimes that delays the warm-up. So you'll sometimes have cooler temperatures which can delay that bloom time," said Westerman. A wet season isn't the only reason apples aren't growing at the normal rate in some orchards. Frost can stop the buds from blooming and hail can destroy the crop completely. This was the case at Happy Apple Farm in Penrose, which won't have an apple season ...
