Thousands of people remain displaced after wildfires, despite owning homes that survived the blazes. The main concern is the contamination risk from smoke that fills houses during a wildfire. Toxins like lead and asbestos can settle into walls and ducts, posing a health risk.
A pair of bills has been passed to set standards for testing and remediating these toxins. This move is expected to make California the first US state to establish such standards.
Further details on the new standards and their implications are available, providing clarity on when it is safe to return home after a wildfire.
