Health costs of wildfire smoke to rise under climate change
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023 The global health burden from wildfire smoke is expected to worsen under climate change, yet we lack quantitative estimates of the economic costs of increased mortality and hospital admissions for cardiovascular and respiratory conditions.

Assessing the Effectiveness of YOLO Architectures for Smoke and Wildfire Detection
IEEE Access, 2023 This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of YOLO architectures for smoke and wildfire detection, including YOLOv5, YOLOv6, YOLOv7, YOLOv8, and YOLO-NAS. We aim to assess their effectiveness in early detection of wildfires.
