Not only food

Consider life now in LA basin/Inland Empire

Unlike landscape fires – which are fueled by trees and plants – urban fires burn through buildings, vehicles, factories, and a massive variety of consumer and industrial products, made of many different chemicals and materials. What’s more, because they by definition occur in populated areas, the smoke they generate poses an enormous and immediate threat to local communities.

In 2023, researchers from the US Environmental Protection Agency collated data from 28 separate analyses of the smoke released during urban fires, comparing these to the chemical composition of forest fire emissions. Results showed that both types of blaze released roughly similar levels of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and fine particulate matter, all of which represent serious health concerns.

However, smoke from urban fires was also found to contain elevated concentrations of numerous other dangerous substances. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), for instance, are a group of potentially cancer-causing chemicals with emission factors that were three orders of magnitude higher in urban emissions than those from woodland

Toxic cloud of dioxin to settle over Central Valley farms. Mike Adams/Health ranger. 95% of USA fruits and veg

This is apocalyptic. It is beyond horrible. It is the end of American food as we have known it.

Buying organic from CA, like all those Driscoll strawberries, won't help. It will be in the soil. I suppose if you check country of origin labels and buy organic central and S America it would be OK. But stop buying anything fresh from Central Valley, CA.

The combustion of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials—commonly found in water pipes, clothing, and other household items—has produced dioxins, a class of highly toxic chemicals known to cause cancer at extremely low concentrations. According to Mike Adams, these dioxins are "forever chemicals" that can persist in the environment for decades, contaminating soil, water, and crops.

"The dioxins will blanket the food supply in California's Central Valley, one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world,"


The Central Valley, which supplies a significant portion of the nation's fruits, vegetables, and nuts, is particularly vulnerable to contamination. Winds are expected to carry the toxic particles eastward, potentially affecting neighboring states like Arizona. The fallout could also contaminate water sources, further compounding the crisis.
