His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

And for those who are unhoused or whose jobs require them to continue working outside, the hazardous air quality and heat are inescapable.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside postID=\"news_11834305\"]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If this is you, help is available — and if you want to help these communities, opportunities are plentiful. Take it from Quinn Jasmine Redwoods, a transgender disabled \u003ca href=\"https://www.pluralpride.com/playbook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plural\u003c/a> activist, who says they were unsure how to help until they founded \u003ca href=\"https://maskoakland.org/\">Mask Oakland\u003c/a>, a volunteer network that distributes masks to those who need it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, Redwoods saw Bay Area people living outside without masks, unprotected from the smoky air caused by wildfires. On their way to buy a mask for their friend, they thought, “Why doesn’t everyone have masks?” From there, they bought $300 worth of masks at a hardware store to distribute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, in 2021, it’s Mask Oakland’s fifth fire season. Over the years, the group has helped distribute more than 240,000 masks, and provides face coverings geared toward stopping the spread of COVID in addition to masks to prevent \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11616299/is-all-that-wildfire-smoke-damaging-my-lungs\">respiratory damage from wildfire smoke\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you start peeling back the veil, the amount of need will shock a lot of folks,” Redwoods said.

But if you must be outside, try to limit your physical activity and wear a mask if it’s possible and safe to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember: Although cloth masks can help prevent the spread of COVID-19, they won’t protect against the harmful particles in smoke that can be dangerous for your health.

Griffin says to use a filter setting, if you can, on the air conditioner, and use fans if you can’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of people have these air conditioners that are in the window and they're really not very good when there's smoke out there, bringing air in from outside,\" Griffin says. \"So we're saying use fans instead in the house because the fans will help circulate air in the house and not bring in outside air.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That \u003ca href=\"https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fans-may-be-okay-for-muggy-days-but-avoid-them-in-extreme-dry-heat/\">may not work as well\u003c/a> in extreme and dry heat events. The trouble with fans, says Contra Costa County’s Radhakrishna, is that when temperatures hit the mid-90s, they start to just move hot air around, helping it to become drier, which doesn’t help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PHI’s Solomon points out that in a battle between two threats, heat-related illness can kill people quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Air pollution isn't good for people, but it's less likely to kill you right away,” she says. “If you end up in a furnace situation in a closed house with no air conditioning, that's immediately dangerous to your health,” Solomon says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She points out that counties are still running cooling centers, socially distanced. Alameda County public officials \u003ca href=\"https://covid-19.acgov.org/covid19-assets/docs/health-safety/wildfire-smoke-faq-2020.08.28.pdf\">offer tips about protecting health against smoke\u003c/a> that include keeping cool in air-conditioned malls, which are open at 25% capacity.

That’s because they’re both potent diuretics: that is, they cause you to go to the bathroom. “That reduces your body water,” Solomon points out. “You might think that drinking alcohol or drinking a lot of coffee would be helpful, but it's less helpful than you think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AND: If you’re choosing between a stuffy house and smoke pollution...\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFirst keep the windows closed. That’s advice from Mary Griffin, a nurse who leads the home care division for the non-profit Institute on Aging. Griffin says to use a filter setting, if you can, on the air conditioner, and use fans if you can’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of people have these air conditioners that are in the window and they're really not very good when there's smoke out there, bringing air in from outside,\" Griffin says. \"So we're saying use fans instead in the house because the fans will help circulate air in the house and not bring in outside air.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That \u003ca href=\"https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fans-may-be-okay-for-muggy-days-but-avoid-them-in-extreme-dry-heat/\">may not work as well\u003c/a> in extreme and dry heat events. The trouble with fans, says Contra Costa County’s Radhakrishna, is that when temperatures hit the mid-90s, they start to just move hot air around, helping it to become drier, which doesn’t help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PHI’s Solomon points out that in a battle between two threats, heat-related illness can kill people quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Air pollution isn't good for people, but it's less likely to kill you right away,” she says. “If you end up in a furnace situation in a closed house with no air conditioning, that's immediately dangerous to your health,” Solomon says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She points out that counties are still running cooling centers, socially distanced. Alameda County public officials \u003ca href=\"https://covid-19.acgov.org/covid19-assets/docs/health-safety/wildfire-smoke-faq-2020.08.28.pdf\">offer tips about protecting health against smoke\u003c/a> that include keeping cool in air-conditioned malls, which are open at 25% capacity. And there’s always the frozen food aisle...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BUT BE CAREFUL:\u003c/strong> Wear a mask, use hand sanitizer, and maintain social distance in public places.

Known as Heliox, the treatment is reserved for the most serious cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was put on that for an hour,” she said in a playful sing-song, “and I couldn’t even talk because the thing was on my mouth and on my nose. It made me sound like a squeaky mouse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Days later, Ta’Kira went home with a bunch of new prescriptions. But her medical records, which Shawntierra shared with KQED, reveal that she ran out of some key maintenance meds over the next few years — partly because of hitches with her Medi-Cal, the state’s government insurance program that serves low-income families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Dr. John Balmes, professor of medicine and environmental health sciences at UCSF and UC Berkeley']‘Based on what we know from outdoor air pollution and about asthma biology in general, the effects can be cumulative.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those hardships are just one example of how wealth can impact health — gaps in Ta’Kira’s treatment made controlling her asthma harder, and she landed back in the ER again and again. Then wildfires — record-breaking in their scope and devastation — started burning, beginning with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/tubbs-fire\">the Tubbs Fire in October 2017\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blaze raged through Sonoma and Napa counties, destroying several Santa Rosa neighborhoods. Even though it burned a ways from Vallejo, wildfires produce tiny particulate matter that can travel great distances and lodge deep in the lungs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the year that followed, Ta’Kira was rushed to the ER with bad asthma attacks every three to four months. But those visits didn’t happen on the days when the smoke was at its worst, though she felt it in her chest. Instead, Ta’Kira ended up visiting the ER repeatedly in the weeks and months that followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. John Balmes, a professor of medicine and environmental health sciences at UCSF and UC Berkeley who studies the impact of air pollution on kids, said that’s not surprising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Based on what we know from outdoor air pollution and about asthma biology in general, the effects can be cumulative,” Balmes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The short-term impacts of wildfire smoke are well documented. Studies have shown that smoky days correlate with spikes in ER visits for lung and heart problems in real time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for long-term health effects, there’s a lot we still don’t know. A recent Stanford University study showed potentially lasting damage to the immune systems of kids who’d been exposed to fire smoke. And \u003ca href=\"https://www.revealnews.org/article/the-smokes-gone-but-hearts-and-lungs-still-may-be-in-danger-months-after-wildfires/\">an investigation by the Center for Investigative Reporting\u003c/a> found a spike in ER visits of adults and kids experiencing lung and heart ailments three to five months after the Tubbs Fire. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, like with daily air pollution, Balmes said, it’s pretty clear that inhalation of particulate matter from smoke can cause harm over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A child could be exposed to wildfire smoke for a period and have some increase in airway inflammation,” he said, “which would then put them at greater risk of exacerbations from allergens that they’re sensitized to, or make them more at risk for having exacerbation when they get a cold.” [aside tag=\"wildfires\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New record-setting blazes would follow the Tubbs Fire. In November 2018, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/camp-fire\">the Camp Fire decimated the town of Paradise\u003c/a> in Butte County, spreading smoke laden with toxins from burning plastics and other industrial materials for hundreds of miles. Three months later, Ta’Kira was back in the hospital again. “Working very hard to breathe,” her medical notes say. “Unable to hold a long conversation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was scared because I had to get an IV,” she said. “They always put it in the same arm. But then this one nurse she knew I was scared so she took her time putting the fluid all the way in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ta’Kira put on a brave face about that IV, and about the ambulance ride she took hours later, when she was transferred to the pediatric ICU in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her mom, Shawntierra, is a singer. And Ta’Kira says during that time in ICU, she often sang — especially during her long overnight stays on a pull-out couch next to her daughter’s bed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Shawntierra, these hospitalizations have been terrifying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just remember crying a lot,” she said, “because they kept coming in the room doing extra stuff to her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ta’Kira is not alone in her medical struggles. \u003ca href=\"https://minorityhealth.hhs.gov/omh/browse.aspx?lvl=4&lvlid=15\">Black children like her are disproportionately affected by asthma\u003c/a>, more likely to be hospitalized for it, and even to die from it. Especially in low-income neighborhoods like the Vallejo census tract where Ta’Kira has lived for her entire young life.

And about half a dozen residents — including Shawntierra — said smoke comes right in through the flimsy aluminum window frames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garbage is a problem at Marina Vista, too.

Large, bulky, open-topped garbage bins sit just feet from Shawntierra’s unit, across a narrow pathway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shawntierra said management should move them farther away from the living units, “or at least spray more often for roaches and mice. Sometimes we’ll see them all outside the apartments and inside. Just everywhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last October, Ta’Kira was back at the ER again, on a cardiac monitor, getting a continuous flow of asthma meds through a nebulizer. Her lungs were already compromised when, a week later, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11782314/what-you-need-to-know-sonoma-countys-kincade-fire\">the Kincade Fire\u003c/a> started burning within 100 miles of her home, blanketing Vallejo in smoke. Two weeks later, she was back at the ER.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year has been a bit better for Ta’Kira when it comes to asthma attacks, her mother said. Maybe because she’s getting older.

In November 2018, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/camp-fire\">the Camp Fire decimated the town of Paradise\u003c/a> in Butte County, spreading smoke laden with toxins from burning plastics and other industrial materials for hundreds of miles. Three months later, Ta’Kira was back in the hospital again. “Working very hard to breathe,” her medical notes say. “Unable to hold a long conversation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was scared because I had to get an IV,” she said. “They always put it in the same arm. But then this one nurse she knew I was scared so she took her time putting the fluid all the way in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ta’Kira put on a brave face about that IV, and about the ambulance ride she took hours later, when she was transferred to the pediatric ICU in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her mom, Shawntierra, is a singer. And Ta’Kira says during that time in ICU, she often sang — especially during her long overnight stays on a pull-out couch next to her daughter’s bed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Shawntierra, these hospitalizations have been terrifying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just remember crying a lot,” she said, “because they kept coming in the room doing extra stuff to her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ta’Kira is not alone in her medical struggles. \u003ca href=\"https://minorityhealth.hhs.gov/omh/browse.aspx?lvl=4&lvlid=15\">Black children like her are disproportionately affected by asthma\u003c/a>, more likely to be hospitalized for it, and even to die from it.

But also, he said, because of more indirect factors including discrimination, poor housing, poverty, noise and garbage\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given what we know about those trends, he said, wildfire smoke is “likely to differentially impact kids in these neighborhoods.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During every wildfire-related smoke event, Ta’Kira’s mom said, she has made sure to follow public health advice to keep the ground-floor apartment’s windows and doors closed. But that only helps if they keep the smoke out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marina Vista’s oldest apartment buildings were built about 50 years ago. And about half a dozen residents — including Shawntierra — said smoke comes right in through the flimsy aluminum window frames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garbage is a problem at Marina Vista, too. It attracts critters whose droppings are common asthma triggers. Large, bulky, open-topped garbage bins sit just feet from Shawntierra’s unit, across a narrow pathway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shawntierra said management should move them farther away from the living units, “or at least spray more often for roaches and mice. Sometimes we’ll see them all outside the apartments and inside. Just everywhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last October, Ta’Kira was back at the ER again, on a cardiac monitor, getting a continuous flow of asthma meds through a nebulizer. Her lungs were already compromised when, a week later, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11782314/what-you-need-to-know-sonoma-countys-kincade-fire\">the Kincade Fire\u003c/a> started burning within 100 miles of her home, blanketing Vallejo in smoke. Two weeks later, she was back at the ER.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year has been a bit better for Ta’Kira when it comes to asthma attacks, her mother said. Maybe because she’s getting older. Maybe because the medicines she takes each day are doing their job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
