Assessing the Impact of Wildfires on Air Quality and Public Health
Author(s): Janks Mews*
Wildfires are a significant environmental hazard, often resulting in extensive damage to ecosystems, property and human health. This article
examines the complex relationship between wildfires, air quality and public health. It explores the dynamics of wildfire smoke, the methods used
to assess air quality during wildfires and the public health impacts of wildfire smoke exposure. Additionally, it discusses strategies for mitigating
