Drought's Smoke Hits Florida's Gold Coast
Smoke from Everglades fires has doubled air pollution counts over South Florida's Gold Coast. Florida Air and Water Pollution Centre Board director Frank Kleeman warned air samplings in the past three months exceed standards, risking health for those with respiratory diseases. More than 6,000 fires have scorched 400,000 acres this year in the worst drought in 25 years, while a 12,000-acre timber blaze neared Everglades National Park and went under-tended due to staffing shortages.
