متن کاملWildfire smoke exposure and human health: Significant gaps in research for a growing public health issue.
Understanding the effect of wildfire smoke exposure on human health represents a unique interdisciplinary challenge to the scientific community. Population health studies indicate that wildfire smoke is a risk to human health and increases the healthcare burden of smoke-impacted areas. However, wildfire smoke composition is complex and dynamic, making characterization and modeling difficult. Fu...
متن کاملCardio-respiratory outcomes associated with exposure to wildfire smoke are modified by measures of community health
BACKGROUND Characterizing factors which determine susceptibility to air pollution is an important step in understanding the distribution of risk in a population and is critical for setting appropriate policies. We evaluate general and specific measures of community health as modifiers of risk for asthma and congestive heart failure following an episode of acute exposure to wildfire smoke. MET...
متن کاملSmoke Signals: Teasing Out Adverse Health Effects of Wildfire Emissions
