What to expect from work the next time faraway wildfires poison your commute

Thomas Brugato's commentary was included in a CNBC.com article about worker health requirements that will need to be adopted in the future given the expected severity of wildfire seasons and broader geographic impact.

According to Thomas, "Companies should avoid thinking through just one prism and seek to address air quality issues as a whole. Broadly speaking, companies need to be asking whether the systems they have in place are 'adequate to ensure protection and safe air during very bad air quality events,” he said.
