"It feels like you can't breathe, and your airways get swollen, and there's mucus in them," said Nate.
"All I have to say, if you have asthma, try avoid pulling the trigger," Nate observed.
Marshall Burke, professor at the Doerr School of Sustainability at Stanford University, said that as the climate continues to warm, expect more wildfires with a lot more smoke that contains all kinds of chemicals.
Burke, one of the researchers involved in the Nature study of wildfire smoke, says the yearly smoke-related deaths will likely increase because of climate change. To address the threat, Burke and his team created a free online tool for the public, policymakers, and researchers called the Environmental Hazard Adaptation Atlas.
"Not everyone can afford a $200 air filter, so we need to make sure that people have access," said Burke.
"We want people to know that there are resources out there," said Dr. Tanya Payyappilly, CEO of Breathe California of the Bay Area, Golden Gate, and Central Coast. "We go out to community centers and also work with our partners to do a lot of education and bring awareness about this root cause that is climate change."
Payyappilly told CBS News Bay Area the camp is attracting a growing number of children diagnosed with asthma and credits the parents with wanting to give their kids some good tools and techniques.
"We hope that they come out of camp just with the confidence and knowledge they need to stay safe at home, at school," said Breathe California health, education, and community outreach specialist Vivian Chang.
"We can be more informed, so that we can protect our kids, and protect each other," said Mr. Do.
Breathe California of the Bay Area, Golden Gate, and Central Coast will hold its annual Breathe Walk of Life fundraiser on Saturday at Hellyer County Park in San Jose.
