Notes from the field: Asthma-associated emergency department visits during a wildfire smoke event - New York, June 2023
Meek HC , Aydin-Ghormoz H , Bush K , Muscatiello N , McArdle CE , Weng CX , Hoefer D , Hsu WH , Rosenberg ES . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2023 72 (34) 933-935 During June 6–8, 2023, smoke from Eastern Canadian wildfires caused poor air quality across New York, driven by concentrations of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5)*; air quality index reached “unhealthy” or “very unhealthy” levels across the state.† PM2.5 from wildfire smoke is associated with an increased risk for medical emergencies, including asthma exacerbations (1). Characterizing such health outcomes during this wildfire smoke event can guide current and future response efforts. |
