UN reports wildfire smoke deaths increase
Global Meteorological Organization reports indicate that the toxic smoke resulting from wildfires causes approximately 100,000 additional deaths annually between 2010 and 2018. The incidence of severe smoke from fires has tripled since the 1990s, leading to increased air pollution and posing serious public health risks, especially with rising levels of fine particulate matter and ground-level ozone associated with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The report highlights that the heatwaves experienced in parts of Canada, Russia, and Africa in 2025 caused pollution levels to surpass usual standards, calling for stricter regulation of pollutants such as black carbon and microplastics to ensure the protection of human health and the environment.
