Hotter temperatures have resulted in more severe wildfires in areas in northern Europe, away from Mediterranean countries such as Greece and T\u00fcrkiye where fires are typically experienced most summers. Direct exposure to wildfires often results in death and significant injuries as well as illnesses such as dehydration and heat stroke. We\u2019ve also witnessed, in recent years, how huge of an impact wildfires and smoke have on the travel industry not only in Europe but globally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exposure to wildfire smoke can also significantly impact people&#8217;s health hundreds of kilometers away, even if they are not directly exposed to the wildfire. Wildfire smoke contains high levels of particulate matter (PM), carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, and can have short- and long-term impacts on health, including eye and skin irritation, cardiovascular diseases and respiratory illnesses. There is typically <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu\/en\/observatory\/evidence\/health-effects\/wildfires\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an increase in premature deaths, respiratory diseases and pneumonia cases following a wildfire<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"custom-qoute-here\">Wildfires are adding to challenges posed by overall climate change and are expected to influence travel in the years to come.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With record droughts and heatwaves set to continue, longer fire seasons, more intense fires and the expansion of wildfires into central and northern Europe is predicted in the future. Which, in turn, will likely lead to an increase in long-term health problems from smoke inhalation. Wildfires are adding to challenges posed by overall climate change and are expected to influence travel in the years to
