There is extensive evidence that long-term exposure to all-source PM increases mortality. However, to date, no study has evaluated whether this effect is exacerbated in the presence of wildfire events. Here, we study 60+ million older US adults and find that wildfire events increase the harmful effects of long-term all-source PM exposure on mortality, providing a new and realistic conceptualization of wildfire health risks.
有大量证据表明，长期接触各种来源的细颗粒物（PM）会增加死亡率。然而，迄今为止，尚无研究评估在发生野火事件的情况下这种影响是否会加剧。在此，我们对6000多万美国老年人进行了研究，发现野火事件会增加长期接触各种来源的PM对死亡率的有害影响，从而为野火健康风险提供了一种新的、现实的概念。
