As wildfires and poor air quality becomes an annual occurrence, there are growing health concerns about the consistent exposure to harmful particulates. “The long-term effects refer to things like an increased premature mortality or even increased cancer incidents,” Weichenthal said.

But the Vigh family knows the winds of government shift too slowly. “There’s so much bureaucracy that goes with dealing with the government that if we sit and wait for them to fund anything, it’s never going to happen,” Amber said. She added that Carter never hesitated to do the right thing. “He was a force to be reckoned with and he would’ve done incredible things.” What is perfectly clear, through the love and determination of his family, that’s exactly what Carter continues to do.
