Associations between wildfire smoke exposure and health-related quality of life: findings from the Lovelace Smokers Cohort
Exposure to WFS was associated with worse SGRQ and SF-36 scores, with notable differences in temporal patterns between mental and physical health measures. Our findings also underscore the importance of source-specific risk assessment for air pollution.
