Smoke exposure from bushfires, such as those experienced in Australia during 2019-2020, can reach levels up to 10 times those deemed hazardous. Short-term and extended exposure to high levels of air pollution can be associated with adverse health effects, although the most recent fires have brought into sharp focus that several important knowledge gaps remain. In this article, we briefly identify and discuss the existing Australian evidence base and make suggestions for future research.
丛林大火(如 2019-2020 年期间澳大利亚所经历的大火)产生的烟雾暴露水平可高达被认为有害水平的 10 倍。短期和长期接触高水平的空气污染可能与不良健康影响有关,尽管最近的火灾凸显了仍然存在几个重要的知识空白。在本文中,我们简要地确定和讨论了现有的澳大利亚证据基础,并为未来的研究提出了建议。
