Abstract
Background
Wildfire activity is predicted to increase in many parts of the world due to changes in temperature and precipitation patterns from global climate change. Wildfire smoke contains numerous hazardous air pollutants and many studies have documented population health effects from this exposure.
Objectives
We aimed to assess the evidence of health effects from exposure to wildfire smoke and to identify susceptible populations.
