Health risks of exposure to wildfire-toxic air Nature Sustainability, Published online: 08 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41893-025-01535-7Evaluating the short-term exposure to wildfire-specific fine particulate matter (PM2.5) showed greater risks of hospitalization for all major respiratory diseases than non-wildfire PM2.5.
