GSA 2024 Abstract

Abstract

Little is known about the health impacts of wildland urban interface (WUI) fires, which are increasingly common and mostly burn human-made materials. The Marshall Fire Community Health Research Study investigated a destructive WUI fire that affected communities of Superior and Louisville (CO) on December 30, 2021.
