Health Impacts of Climate Exacerbated Wildfires
Thursday, December 5, 2024

Peter Thorne (Public Health), Alejandro Comellas (Internal Medicine), Greg Carmichael (Chemical and Biochemical Engineering), and I covered how smoke from wildfires causes acute and chronic health effects, how wildfires are changing in North America (climate, legacy of suppression, changes to wildland-urban interface, etc.), and how forecasting and risk communication tools can be used by medical professionals.
