Projections of mortality risk attributable to short-term exposure to landscape fire smoke in China, 2021-2100: a health impact assessment study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Landscape fire smoke, including smoke from all vegetation burning in natural and cultural landscapes, remains a threat to the health of the population. However, the future health impacts of landscape fire smoke in China have not been sufficiently investigated. We aimed to estimate the mortality risk attributable to landscape fire-related PM_2·5 under different scenarios.

Methods

In this health impact assessment study, we used the projected population and landscape fire-related PM_2·5 concentration to calculate deaths attributable to short-term exposure to landscape fire smoke PM_2·5 during 2021-2100. We did the analysis in three defined future periods: 2021-40 (near term), 2051-70 (medium term), and 2081-2100 (long term), with 1986-20
