For decades, Oregonians have suffered health effects from the field burning of grass residues in the Willamette Valley. Due to the location and the prevailing winds, the smoke from field burning envelops the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area and surrounding smaller communities, causing respiratory problems and obscuring visibility. Already, the prevalence of asthma in Oregon is considerably higher than the U.S. average and continues to rise.
