Large Air Quality and Public Health Impacts due to Amazonian Deforestation Fires in 2019

Edward W. Butt et al.

Summary: Air pollution from Amazon fires has negative impacts on human health, with an increase in deforestation leading to a rise in fire count and subsequent premature deaths. Analyzing data from 2003 to 2019, researchers estimate that reduced deforestation could greatly improve air quality and public health in the Amazon region.

Association between PK10 from vegetation fire events and hospital visits by children in upper northern Thailand

Athicha Uttajug et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of exposure to air pollutants from vegetation fire events on children's health, specifically the association between PM10 concentrations and hospital visits for respiratory diseases. Results showed a positive correlation between PM10 concentration and respiratory diseases on both burning and non-burning days.

Assessment of biomass-burning types and transport over Thailand and the associated health risks

Praphatsorn Punsompong et al.

Summary: According to the study, different regions in Thailand are affected by different types of BB, leading to varying levels of PM2.5 pollution, with forest fires being the main source of pollution. Analysis of PM2.5 exposure shows that around 79% of the population in Thailand is affected by very unhealthy and hazardous PM2.5-AQI levels.

Wildfire smoke impacts respiratory health more than fine particles from other sources: observational evidence from Southern California

Rosana Aguilera et al.

Summary: Wildfires are becoming more frequent and destructive due to climate change, with PM2.5 in wildfire smoke adversely impacting human health. Recent studies suggest wildfire PM2.5 may be more toxic than other sources of PM2.5. Adjusting air quality policies to consider the variability in PM2.5 impacts from different emission sources is essential.

Development of an anthropogenic atmospheric mercury emissions inventory in Thailand in 2018

Pham Thi Bich Thao et al.

Summary: The study developed an atmospheric Hg emission inventory in Thailand in 2018, with major sources being biomass open burning and combustion sources. Mercury speciation showed Hg-0 as dominant. Emissions were concentrated in the Central, Northern, and Northwestern regions of Thailand, with peak emissions in March and April.
