I have worried even more since the unprecedented wildfire seasons of 2017 and 2018, because <strong>climate change is increasing wildfire risk all over the world<\/strong>. Australia is my second home, and I have watched the devastating wildfires and smoke with a heavy heart \u2013 especially because I know that something similar could happen in BC, or elsewhere in Canada.<br><br>We already understand a lot about the health effects of air pollution from sources such as traffic and industry, and we\u2019re learning more all of the time. For example, people who live in more polluted areas have shorter life expectancies due to higher risk of many chronic conditions including heart disease, respiratory disease, diabetes, dementia, lung cancer\u2026the growing list seems endless. On days with more pollution more people will visit their doctors, go to the emergency room, be admitted to the hospital, and some will die prematurely. Babies who are exposed to more pollution while in the womb face more health challenges than babies who are less exposed. <strong>Simply put, there is overwhelming evidence that air pollution is unhealthy for humans at all stages of life<\/strong>.<br><br>Air pollution sources such as traffic and industry emit predictable amounts of pollution every day, day after day, year after year. Air pollution from wildfire smoke is really different with respect to its timing and intensity. Big wildfires, on the other hand, only happen in the summer, they don\u2019t happen every summer, and they emit a lot of pollution when they do happen. During wildfire season, <strong>air quality can be more than 20 times worse than we would expect on typical days <\/strong>(Figure 1). Because of these differences, we don\u2019t yet completely understand the health effects of wildfire smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pacificpublichealth.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BCCDC_Foundation_Wildfire_Smoke_Concentrations_Graph-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3002\"\/><figcaption><em>Figure 1: Concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution can be more than 20 times higher than usual on days affected by wildfire smoke<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the past few years I have worried about unborn and newborn babies who are exposed to wildfire smoke. I worry about babies in the womb because wildfire smoke can cause systemic inflammation during pregnancy, which may affect the flow of nutrition through the placenta. We know from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"one large study in California (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/ehp.niehs.nih.gov\/doi\/full\/10.1289\/ehp.1104515\" target=\"_blank\">one large study in California<\/a> that pregnancy during an extreme wildfire season was associated with slightly smaller babies than expected and we know from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"other studies (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1488726\/\" target=\"_blank\">other studies<\/a> that low birth weight can be associated with poorer lifelong health. I worry about newborn babies because they have incredibly sensitive lungs, and exposure to wildfire smoke may do damage that never fully heals. We know from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"another study in California (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atsjournals.org\/doi\/full\/10.1165\/rcmb.2016-0380OC\" target=\"_blank\">another study in California<\/a> that a group of newborn monkeys exposed to wildfire smoke had smaller lungs and poorer immune function in adolescence than a similar, unexposed group. <br><br>We need more research on babies exposed to wildfire smoke because the detrimental effects may last a lifetime.
