Wildfire smoke is a health threat, especially for people with lung problems.

• Wildfire smoke contains particle pollution which is very tiny and can lodge deep in lungs.
• Particle pollution can trigger asthma attacks, heart attacks and strokes.
• Wildfire smoke also contains carbon monoxide (CO) which can reduce oxygen delivery to the body.
• Climate change has contributed to more wildfires by causing drier conditions.
