ScienceWildfire smoke causes nearly 100,000 excess deaths a year — UN

The World Meteorological Organization says wildfire smoke caused nearly 100,000 additional deaths annually from 2010 to 2018. Extreme fire-smoke events have tripled since the 1990s, while standard risk models may underestimate related mortality by as much as 93% because they do not adequately reflect smoke toxicity.
