Health Monitoring of Forest Fires in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Update as of July 21, 2022.

Key Points

The fires currently affecting the Gironde department have produced a plume of smoke that has spread to the Dordogne and Landes departments. Air quality measurements conducted by Atmo Nouvelle Aquitaine revealed that the alert threshold for particulate matter (PM 10) had been exceeded. The health impact of the fires appears to be very moderate among the general population. However, this assessment should be interpreted with caution, as the data do not cover the private medical sector, which may have been consulted.

Health monitoring continues throughout the region, with particular attention focused on areas affected by the fires.
