Key Points

The research aims to assess the impact of ozone from wildfire plumes on mortality rates.
Analyzed data over recent decades regarding surface ozone levels and wildfire incidents in the United States.
Examined correlations between wildfire-related ozone increases and mortality outcomes.
Wildfire plumes significantly raise surface ozone levels, leading to increased mortality rates.
Findings indicate a potential reversal of decades of improvements in air quality.

Implication

Shows increased mortality risk from ozone exposure in wildfire-affected areas, suggesting urgent need for pollution management.

Abstract

Decades of improvement in surface ozone exposure in the United States risk being reversed by wildfires
