Shows more than 400 indirect deaths associated with forest fires La

More than 400 additional deaths are estimated to be related to the fire -enzymes earlier this year, according to a new study.

The figure posted on Wednesday In the Jamm Medical JournalLooks at the deaths that were associated with the factors caused by forest fires as poor air quality and health delay.

This is a higher figure than the official number of deaths in the Los -Angeles District, which is caused directly by the fires.

The study occurs when hundreds of fires are burning across the US and Canada, causing air quality recommendations in cities such as Chicago, Buffalo and New York.

Palisada and Iron shoot through the Los -Andgeles in January, destroying thousands of structures and leads to the evacuation of more than 100,000 Los Eandges.

The last study found that, according to the estimated, about 440 people were killed in forest fires between January 5 and February 1.

The researchers said they signed the figure, looking at all the deaths and their causes in the Los -Andgeles during the fires, and comparing it to similar data in previous years.

The results show that during the forest fires was almost 7%. Some are explained by the lungs and hearts that are exacerbated by smoke or stress, while others are more indirect – for example, delayed treatment for dialysis or cancer patients as a result of disruptions associated with fire.

The authors stated that the results emphasize the need for officials to consider direct and indirect deaths of fires and other emergencies associated with the climate, when trying to evaluate their impact.

“They also emphasize the need to improve the observation of mortality during and after emergencies with fires,” the authors said, noting that their figures are previous because there may have been additional deaths related to the study.

The BBC appealed to the Los County officials to comment on the study conclusions.

Another A study released on Wednesday in Jama This considered the consequences of the Maui Fires in 2023, showed that 22% of adults in the region reduced the function of the lungs, and the symptoms of depression were in half.

The fires that emerged in August 2023 and were the worst ones, affected by Hawaii in the last history, killed at least 102 people and destroyed more than 2000 structures.

The authors of the Maui study stated that their results show the need for “sustainable clinical monitoring and supporting mental health” the moon after the climate catastrophe.

A Second study by fires on hawaii It believes that Maui has seen the highest suicide and drug overdose in the month of 2023.

In recent years, forest fires have become more frequent as a result of climate change caused by hot and drier weather, which feeds the fire.

In addition to the immediate threat of life and structures, it is shown that smoke from forest fires has an adverse effect on health for humans.

Forest fire smoke was found to be harmful to certain immune cells in the lungs, with a four -fold toxicity than particles of other types of pollution.

Experts can have a long-term effect on cardiovascular health.

Experts say the elderly, pregnant women and young children, as well as those who have the main health, such as heart disease or asthma, are likely to become ill. But smoke can also affect healthy adults.
