Emma, it's not looking good for tonight. As I mentioned earlier, I'm out of the office tomorrow.
Should you not hear from me tonight (I'll be online a little while longer.), Robert Daguillard, who is acting for me and cc'ed here, will hopefully be in touch tomorrow with the agency's response.

Also, what does the EPA say about the long term risks of breathing in a lot of wildfire smoke? I have info from your fact sheet (https://www3.epa.gov/airnow/smoke fires/protecting-children-from-wildfire-smoke-and-ash.pdf) about acute effects for kids but can we say much about longterm effects?
Thanks so much again,
Emma

Hello Enesta, I just got a call from my editor and he is bumping up my deadline to today in a few hours! Obviously, I don't expect you to pull a bunch of complicated data, but if you have anything at all that is easy to just zap my way in the next few hours, I would be super grateful.

Thanks, Enesta
I've been asked to write a story for the Guardian about what it is like to be stuck inside due to wildfire smoke (with two bouncy kids). I would love to include some data in the story about how frequent and widespread high smoke levels are-and whether they have been getting worse in the region. Do you have any way of quantifying how many people or households are affected by unhealthy levels of smoke each summer? All I could find online was a graph for PM 2.5 more broadly, which is going down. But I have a hunch that PM2.5 due to wildfire is going up. I am especially interested in quantifying how often it gets so high that people are stuck inside. I have a tight deadline on this: Monday.
