OBJECTIVE: with emergency department (ED) visits for headache. BACKGROUND: may contribute to more frequent headaches. METHODS: concentrations, first for primary headache disorders combined, and then by headache subtype. RESULTS: was associated with tension-type headache (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.03-1.62), but not migraine, cluster, or "other" primary headaches. CONCLUSIONS: exposure may be associated with ED visits for headache. Patients, healthcare providers, and systems may need to respond to increased headache-related healthcare needs in the wake of wildfires and on poor air quality days.
