Is anyone aware of any research or information with regards to how short-term exposure to PM2.5 produced by wildfires affects the health of individuals and at what exposure levels (equivalent perhaps to fractional dose of mean daily exposure of 25μg/m3 – the Air Quality Guideline limit suggested by the WHO) may lead to hospitalisations and/or to serious cardiovascular health conditions?
I hope I can help you:

I asked a similar question and created a discussion - which deals with the role of forest fires (smoke) in respiratory infections
