This project investigates whether the air pollution that was caused by the 2006-2007 Victorian bushfires, had an effect on the health of people living in Melbourne. Cardiovascular effects will be studied by looking at hospital admissions, out-of-hospital heart attacks and the associated death toll. As it is the expectation that bushfires will increase in the future it is important to determine the impact this may have. This research will inform appropriate public health strategies.

该项目调查2006-2007年维多利亚时代的森林大火造成的空气污染是否对墨尔本居民的健康产生了影响。将通过观察住院人数、院外心脏病发作和相关死亡人数来研究对心血管的影响。由于预计未来森林大火将会增加，因此重要的是确定这可能产生的影响。这项研究将为适当的公共卫生战略提供参考。
