Hello, a happy Tuesday. Probably, as you know, Trump visited Los Angeles on Friday and greeted the Governor Gavin Newsam at Tamak.
Their Handshake really said everything you need to know about your visit Related with. They grabbed. Trump was pulled. NEWSOM resisted. Neither is let go.
Was it Dominant hierarchy With a living color. But they greeted, that’s a good sign for California. As my colleagues Julia Wick and Tallinn Luna reported, “It was unknown whether he and the newspaper meet each other a few hours before Trump landed.”
The next one came on a crazy day. Trump toured Pacific Parisiese, then sitting in town hole with Karenbus, Mayor of Los Angeles, Casslim Burger, director of Los Angeles, and other Democrats and Republican politicians, but was not invited. 。
The round table conference focused on the most urgent question for Angelenos, affected by the fire. When can they return?
Trump knows that some people want to take the popular aspects, push the bass, allow people to return to their property immediately, get a trash can and clean up right away. He said he was.
The bass has been pushed back.
“We’re going to move as soon as possible, but we want you to be safe,” she said.
“One week is actually a long time. It’s a way I see,” said Trump. “I see hundreds of people standing in front of their lot, and they are not allowed to enter. It’s all burning, it’s gone, it’s over. It doesn’t happen anymore.
So who is right?

Everyone is wrong
Everyone was a little correct and most wrong. It is almost the standard of all the fire I covered. One of the facts that no one is disgusting is that people feel pain, often appearing in anger as in sadness. People who have lost their homes, or are still standing but damaged, understand that some people want to access immediately to restore their lives.
That’s where the bass is a little wrong. There is nothing she can say. People will be angry no matter what they explain, and she needs to do a better job to admit her anger.
But it is dangerous to remain. Future health is not only dangerous, but also instantaneous danger. Trump is completely wrong when saying, “It’s all burning, it’s gone, it’s over.”
Steve Karanog, a deputy commander of the EPA of South California, Steve Karanog, who is immediately dangerous during this “phase” cleanup. I told me that I am looking for all kinds of things that can cause.
“Chemical containers, cleaners, solvents, pesticides, compressed gas cylinders, propanked tanks, ammunition,” he rattled. “As you know, many other fires assume that everything is burning in the fire, but there are actually many things left.”
According to Calanog, one of the biggest threats to Parisade is lithium -ion batteries that include large ones, such as those used to store solar energy in electric vehicles and homes. Parisade had both share and they were not destroyed by fire.
Instead, they can be turned into a time bomb.
“They tend to fail and they can burn or explode spontaneously in a few days, weeks, and months after they were damaged,” said Karanog. “We have to treat them like a misfire weapon.”
They are dangerous we can see. Delfine Farmer is a chemistry professor at Colorado State University and is studying the smoke of wildfire. She warns that there is a danger that we cannot see, but there is also a “very poisonous human health”.
Ash and air
Like farmers, Joost de Gouw has spent a lot of time studying air pollution after the fire in the city. He was a chemistry professor at the University of Colorado University, a fellow of the Cooperative Research Institute for Environmental Science, and then studied his house. Marshall Fire In Coloradado in 2021, the cities of the city burned more than 1,000 houses.
He pointed out that fire in urban areas, unlike a wildfire, mainly nurtures chemical substances and metals. Plastics patra, sofa with processed fabric and coil, treated wood deck. Start thinking about your average house and don’t care about the garage. That way, you can see his point that this is not burning nature.
“I have a legitimate concern that most of the burned things are really homes and vehicles,” they have a legitimate concern. “And I saw it with the dust sample collected at home after the fire of Marshall.”
He and his colleagues found that the house that stood after the Marshall fires behaved like a sponge and immersed pollutants on every surface. Even after airing and cleaning them, pollutants remained.
“It is very clear that many of these compounds stick to the surface,” Farmer warned. In her job, she found that when the window was closed, the pollutants permeated from the hidden place when the windows were closed, and the quality of the indoor air decreased.
“You can clean everything you want,” she said. “Then you close your door, and all of these compounds come out of the surface slowly and begin to appear in the air you are breathing.”
SHANTANU JATHAR, an associate professor of Mechanical Engineering in Coloradado, and Shantanu Jathar, the director of the research in the air quality research, are paying out. He and his team are studying the air quality after the fire in a four -week project with the Southern Coast Air quality control district, and currently has five monitors. He suspects that air pollution may increase at least if a cleanup begins to “loft” a part of the ash in the air.
What does it mean for those who want to go back?
“If I give advice to someone else, I waited for a cleanup activity to greatly reduce dust and toxic ash, which could be released as part of cleanup. After a part of the activities of, it has settled down, “he said.
Helping army
Calanog, Commander of the EPA case, said that there are more than 1,000 people working on phase 1 cleanup this weekend. He said this would be one of the fastest businesses he had directed.
“The level of precautions received by these fires, so that you can thank you, was a factor in the speed we were working on,” he said.
Honestly, I have never seen such an effort because it has covered fire throughout California. It’s a little comfort for the remaining people, but the speed and resources that are recovered in LA are extraordinary.
So, there is another thing that all the people I talked about, pointing to all the politics that satisfies our public space very quickly. Science does not lie.
Currently, burn areas are dangerous, patience feels like another trauma, but better than regrets.

PS I was not a big fan of Paris Hilton last year as a Capitol in a bill to protect my child at the treatment center. Since then, she has pop -ups to my social media feeds with a lot of frequency. So I share this little good news and kindness from her. Hilton has grown pets since the fire. And the family here has a lucky puppy.
It’s not easy to let go, but in such a moment reminds me why training is so important. It was very difficult to say goodbye to her, but when I look at her family’s face … pic.twitter.com/fav28ca4fa
