Reacción a "Short-term exposure to ozone from wildfires is associated with increased mortality"

The survey is of good quality It is supported by both the size of the time series and the number of locations included.

The main finding comes from the analysis done for fire-related ozone. Normally these studies analyse respirable particles and their association with health, so the analysis on ozone is novel.

[Regarding the data from Spain] I would highlight that, although the impact is lower compared to other countries, it is still statistically significant. In the end it is an impact that may be avoidable.

These studies always have limitations, such as not having data at the individual level, but they are still useful. It would be good to know whether the increase in attributable mortality is different by age group or other conditions of vulnerability.
