Understanding the health effects of biomass smoke in Australian towns and cities

野火在世界各地变得更加频繁和严重，相关空气污染对健康的影响是目前证据中的一个主要空白。与空气质量监管，公共卫生和消防管理的主要机构合作，我将检查和比较故意烧伤，火灾，木材加热器和其他空气污染源的空气污染对健康的影响。该研究将重点关注呼吸系统和心脏病，以告知公共卫生和个体患者护理。

Wildfires have become more frequent and severe the world over and the health impacts of the associated air pollution is a major gap in the current evidence. Working with lead agencies in air quality regulation, public health and fire management I will examine and compare the health effects of air pollution from deliberate burns, bushfires, wood heaters and other sources of air pollution. The research will focus on respiratory and heart disease to inform public health and individual patient care.
