USA Today zeroed in on the finding\u0026nbsp;that uncontrolled\u0026nbsp;wildfires shoot harmful microscopic\u0026nbsp;aerosols\u0026nbsp;into the air at a much higher rate than\u0026nbsp;previously thought. Those particles can drift for miles before being inhaled and potentially doing serious damage to the heart and lungs.
