Wildfire Smoke Linked to Tens of Thousands of Premature Deaths
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported on a new study showing that smoke from Canadian wildfires caused seventy thousand premature deaths. Nearly 389 million people were exposed to unsafe levels of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5). McIntyre emphasized that these findings highlight wildfire smoke as a global public health threat, with major fires in Europe and the U.S. not yet accounted for in the study.
