Smoke from wildfires contains many air pollutants of concern and epidemiological studies
have identified associations between exposure to wildfire smoke PM 2.5 and mortality and …

Background: British Columbia, Canada, was impacted by a record-setting heat dome in early
summer 2021. Most households in greater Vancouver do not have air conditioning, and …

Air temperature is an essential component in microclimate and environmental health research,
