Wildfires are an increasing concern in the US. Effects of smoke inhalation can have negative impact on:

Places of Work & Offices
Employees must determine employee exposure to PM2.5:
- Before each shift
- During each shift
- Periodically thereafter
- As required
- At indoor and outdoor workplaces
This includes indoor places of work that breathe unfiltered outdoor air unless a measurement is performed to demonstrate the concentration of PM2.5 is lower than the guideline. For worksites covered by the emergency regulation, employers must determine employee exposure to PM2.5 before each shift and periodically thereafter, as needed.
Wildfire smoke is composed of harmful chemicals and tiny particles suspended in the air that present a significant health hazard for workers exposed to it.
- Reduced lung function
- Bronchitis
- Worsening of Asthma

As well as those mentioned, exposure to PM2.5 effects worker productivity, cognitive function, and causes depression and anxiety.
