Fine particles (PM2.5) from wildfires smoke is potentially leading to
several health impacts. In California, PM2.5 from smoke is expected to increase
while other sources of PM2.5 may decrease. We will discuss different
methodological approaches to understand how the health impacts related to
wildfire smoke may be heterogeneous across communities and space through
different case studies in California. We will also explore the environmental
justice implications of wildfire smoke exposure and compounded impacts with
extreme heat.
