This review in Current Environmental Health Reports mitigation efforts in forests were examined to determine ability to decrease the human harms from wildfires. Collaborative planning and a transdisciplinary approach were proposed to help reduce these health harms.

This article in Environmental Research Letters uses modeling to evaluate the smoke exposure and health burden of asthma exacerbation in the western United States. The highest rates would be seen in northwest with cost estimates over a billion dollars in one fire season.

This brief communication in Climate and Atmospheric Science used a quantitative framework for fire risk assessment. Simulations were then carried out with different weather conditions to then relate the areas affected and severity of exposure with cost.

This perspective from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences looks at satellite imagery to further understand the effect of PM 2.5 from wildfires across the United States.

The review in Current Opinions in Pulmonary Medicine literature is reviewed as to the effect of pulmonary health from wildfire smoke. Lung function, COPD, asthma and respiratory infection and combine outcomes are addressed based on several studies reviewed.

This study in Environmental Research Letters assessed PM 2.5 exposure in Alaska and estimated changes for future events with vulnerability evaluations for subpopulations.

This study in Climatic Change looked to create an interactive map with PM 2.5 estimates in combination with a fire prediction model. The goal is to assess current air quality changes, smoke patterns and from wildfires and estimate future impacts.

This special report in the NEJM ties climate change to increasing wildfires and then examines the health implication from these fires. Protection and mitigation from wildfire risk is also discussed.

This article in Cureus gives a background and review of climate change causing more intense fires and the costs and health hazards associated with them. Heatwaves and two case studies of the Woolsey and Camp fire are used to highlight these points.
