Abstract: Evaluating 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. When developing air quality guidelines, it is also important to consider that PM2.5 from varying sources can have different health effects, which require targeted health and environmental policy approaches.
