According to a recent survey, Australians suffering from Asthma were impacted heavily by air-quality changes during the bushfires that occurred in the summer of 2019-20.
The survey conducted by Asthma Australia revealed that thousands of people could not protect themselves from asthma attacks during the time of the fires.
Asthma Australia’s CEO Michele Goldman stated that “People with asthma suffered serious smoke-related health impacts needing four times more emergency or hospital care and twice as likely to experience financial stress,”
