Wildfire smoke, a significant air pollutant, poses a major and increasing health risk globally.
Each year, it tragically causes hundreds of thousands of premature deaths, exceeding fatalities from car accidents or war.
This invisible killer, worsened by climate change and increasingly frequent intense wildfires, contaminates the air with hazardous substances.
Experts warn that this escalating threat demands immediate attention and effective mitigation strategies to protect public health.
