A recent study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has uncovered a troubling effect of wildfire smoke beyond the well-known respiratory impacts. Researchers have found a significant correlation between exposure to fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) from wildfire smoke and an increase in emergency department visits for mental health conditions. This revelation comes at a time when wildfires are becoming more frequent and severe, posing a complex threat to public health globally.
