4 A crosssectional analysis of cardiovascular mortality among people over 65 years in the Brazilian Amazon, where the predominant source of air pollution is from wildfires, found a significant association between the percentage of hours of PM2.5 over 25 µg/m3 and cardiovascular mortality (Nunes et al. 2013). A study of 13.5 years of data including 48 days affected by wildfire smoke in Sydney, Australia, demonstrated a significant increase in mortality associated with smoke-affected days (Johnston et al. 2011). An earlier study of mortality in Sydney, using eight years of data, found a suggestive increase in mortality associated with wildfire-related PM10 (Morgan et al. 2010). A meta-analysis of data from in 10 cities in southern Europe found increases in cardiovascular mortality associated with PM10 that were stronger on smoke-affected days than on non-affected days (Faustini et al. 2015).
