Canadian wildfire smoke endangers vital organs
Stanford University has reported that smoke from Canadian wildfires threatens the heart and brain, posing risks that go beyond simple lung damage and resemble the effects of smoking, as it contains chemicals, metals, and fine particles that enter the bloodstream and cause inflammation affecting multiple organs. Studies have shown that exposure to these pollutants increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and can lead to brain inflammation lasting more than a month. There are also impacts on pregnant women and the likelihood of premature birth. Experts recommend staying indoors and wearing KN95 masks to reduce exposure to the pollutants caused by the smoke from the fires.
