G P S Question Re Operating in Thick Smoke ?

Was watching the bushfire reports from SE Aust. and one of the commentators suggested that the responding aircraft may be having trouble with getting continuous GPS reception due smoke....

Is this true?

Can anybody advise whether the smoke particle density actually blocks or hinders the GPS signal from satellites in Space?

Just curious is all.....

Cheers
