The number of ozone-related premature deaths due to wildfires is also rising.
The US had been reducing surface-level ozone, a harmful pollutant and the main component of smog, but that changed as wildfire activity picked up around 2015.
As more countries ban waste imports, plastic waste generators like the US will need to find better solutions. A few states are putting more responsibility on producers.

States across the US are looking to take major sources of pollution and use them to generate much-needed power.
Each year, some of the power solar could have produced is blocked by aerosols.
