The health risks from wildfire smoke are extensive, affecting respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological systems. Vulnerable groups, including children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing conditions, are at higher risk of severe outcomes such as asthma attacks, strokes, and premature births. Long-term exposure to smoke particles has been linked to chronic diseases, including cancer and dementia. Globally, wildfire smoke contributes to over 677,000 deaths annually, with nearly 39% of these fatalities occurring in children under five. The economic cost of these health impacts is projected to rise significantly as wildfires become more frequent and intense.
