Estimation of hospital visits for respiratory diseases attributable to PM₁₀ from vegetation fire smoke and health impacts of regulatory intervention in Upper Northern Thailand.

ABSTRACT: The air quality in Upper Northern Thailand (UNT) deteriorates during seasonal vegetation fire events, causing adverse effects especially on respiratory health outcomes. This study aimed to quantitatively estimate respiratory morbidity from vegetation fire smoke exposure, and to assess the impact of a burning ban enforced in 2016 on morbidity burden in UNT. We computed daily population exposure to fire-originated PM₁₀ and estimated its health burden during a 5-year period from 2014 to 2018 using daily fire-originated PM₁₀ concentration and the concentration-response function for short-term exposure to PM₁₀ from vegetation fire smoke and respiratory morbidity. In subgroups classified as children and older adults, the health burden of respiratory morbidity was
