This study aims at establishing whether there is an impact of the ozone resulting from wildfire on the health of the surrounding community. The researchers association hospitalization and emergency health attention on people in the area with the exposure to wild fire.

This article reveals that high birth mortality rates among Indianas are caused by maternal complications, low birth weight, sudden unexpected infant death and preterm birth. However, it identifies the importance of social health determinants on infant mortality. The authors targeted various zip codes to establish the measures required to meet their needs.
