- S0921800924001824 comment "A significant cost of wildfires is the exposure of local and regional populations to air pollution from smoke, which can travel hundreds of miles from the source fire and is associated with significant negative health consequences. Wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity in the United States, driven by historic fire management approaches and global climate change. These influences will take many decades or longer to reverse, so the main opportunities for mitigating health effects involve minimizing human exposure through changes in behavior or infrastructure. One key recommendation for reducing pollution exposures during wildfire smoke events is to limit time and physical activity outdoors, but there is limited evidence on the extent to which people make this change. We estimate how use of parks and playgrounds changes with air quality during wildfire season in the northwest United States. We find small reductions in park and playground visits on moderately polluted days, and large reductions, to 50–60% of baseline visits, when pollution levels are high. Disaggregating results by neighborhood characteristics, we find a significantly greater behavioral response to moderate levels of air pollution in neighborhoods with higher socio-economic status, although responses to high levels of pollution are similar across neighborhood types. Major findings: Park and playground visitation in the Northwest United States decreases significantly as wildfire-driven air quality worsens, with visits dropping by up to 50% during hazardous conditions. A key disparity emerged showing that residents of higher-income and more educated neighborhoods begin taking protective action at much lower pollution levels than those in less advantaged areas, who typically only reduce activity when air quality reaches severe levels. These findings suggest that socioeconomic differences in health outcomes from wildfire smoke are driven partly by the varying ability of different groups to bear the costs of forgoing outdoor recreation." assertion.
