Abstract

Wildfires release a range of known human carcinogens and tend to occur in the same regions each year. As a result, long-term exposures to wildfire pollutants are a concern and will probably increase cancer risk in exposed populations. Actionable solutions are available to reduce exposures and mitigate these risks. Wildfires emit carcinogenic pollutants, raising long-term cancer risks in affected populations. In this Comment, Weichenthal highlights these concerns and outlines actionable solutions to reduce exposure and mitigate risks.
