Everybody hates us. Everyone is leaving. Go anywhere else but Minneapolis.’”

Their paper modeled statewide levels of tiny particles in wildfire smoke called PM2.5, and applied mortality data by ZIP code. They estimated that up to 55,710 premature deaths were attributable to wildfire-related PM2.5 in the air.
