为了研究火灾烟雾对呼吸系统疾病住院率的影响，在澳大利亚布里斯班进行了一项时间序列研究。获得了1997年7月1日至2000年12月31日期间每立方米空气动力学直径为10微米或更小的颗粒物（PM10）、火灾事件、气象条件和每日呼吸道住院人数的数据。使用负二项分布的广义线性模型来估计丛林大火烟雾对呼吸道住院的影响。这项研究的结果表明，每日呼吸道医院的入院率一致增加的PM10的水平为两个火灾和非火灾期间。这种关系在火灾期间比非火灾期间更强，特别是在当天。研究结果表明，在布里斯班，火灾烟雾与呼吸道住院风险增加有统计学意义（p < 0.05）。在控制和管理森林火灾时需要考虑健康影响评估。
To examine the impact of bushfire smoke on hospital admission rates for respiratory disease, a time series study was conducted in Brisbane, Australia. Data on particles of 10 microns or less in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) per cubic metre, bushfire events, meteorological conditions, and daily respiratory hospital admissions were obtained for the period of 1 July 1997 to 31 December 2000. A generalized linear model with the negative binomial distribution was used to estimate the effects of bushfire smoke on respiratory hospital admissions. The results of this study show that daily respiratory hospital admission rates consistently increased with increasing levels of PM10 for both bushfire and non-bushfire periods. This relationship appeared stronger during bushfire periods than non-bushfire periods, especially for the current day. The findings suggest that bushfire smoke was statistically significantly associated with an increased risk of respiratory hospital admissions in Brisbane (p < 0.05). The health impact assessment needs to be considered in the control and management of bushfires.
