Mortality due to Vegetation-Fire Originated PM2.5 Exposure in Europe – Assessment for the Years 2005 and 2008

Conclusions: Our assessment suggests that air pollution due to PM2.5 released from vegetation fires is a notable risk factor for public health in Europe. Moreover, the risk can be expected to increase in the future as the climate change proceeds. This should be taken into consideration when evaluating the overall health and socio-economic impacts of the fires.
