Wildfire smoke is estimated to claim roughly 339,000 lives per year internationally as it contains hazardous air pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. With the world already seeing the effects of climate change and more frequent occurrences of wildfire smoke, many Albertan cities have been looking for ways to adapt to and minimize the risks of severe wildfire smoke exposure. This is especially the case for health risks faced by vulnerable groups such as outdoor workers. These workers spend the majority of their time outdoors performing strenuous activities that increase their risk of negative health impacts. This document contains infographics and a briefing note to inform the community on the issue.
