The third and final part of the Where There's Smoke series is dedicated to the future of air quality and wildfire smoke in Oregon. Air quality issues from wildfire smoke are not going away, but DEQ and its partner agencies are all hard at work determining ways to mitigate smoke and its health impacts, and provide more resources for Oregonians. In part 3, Lauren and Dylan focus on this work and what Oregonians can expect to see in the future.
