There is a great deal of data on air quality for researchers to peruse and link to the even larger set of data on human health and mortality. This has resulted in studies demonstrating strong correlations between higher levels of particulate air pollution and raised mortality, both in the context of exposure differences between large regions, and in the variations across a single metropolitan area. A large part of the problem is smoke, with industry, wildfires, and cooking fires all contributing to this issue to different degrees in different regions.
