Researchers don't know as much about the long-term effects of wildfire smoke exposure on our health. They've studied a little bit about how it affects people who are exposed for short-term periods over time -- mainly by affecting their lung function. How Does Wildfire Smoke Exposure Affect ...

and identify knowledge gaps. Improving exposure assessment and identifying sensitive cardiovascular endpoints will serve to better understand the association between exposure to wildfire smoke and cardiovascular effects and the mechanisms involved
Health experts warn that a shift in mindset and new solutions are needed as exposure to smoke from bigger wildfires becomes a regular occurrence. While the longer-term health effects of exposure to wildfire smoke have yet to be thoroughly studied, linkages between disease, death and air p...

The specific health effects aren’t yet clear, but there’s some indication that more exposure leads to greater health effects. The supposition is that more free radicals are generated the longer smoke is exposed to UV light, so there’s ...
BACKGROUND: Wildfire activity is predicted to increase in many parts of the world due to changes in temperature and precipitation patterns from global climate change. Wildfire smoke contains numerous hazardous air pollutants and many studies have documented population health effects from this exposure.OBJ...

Exposure to wildfire smoke affects the body's respiratory and cardiovascular systems almost immediately, according to new research from the University of British Columbia's School of Population and Public Health.
