Recent wildfires in the Community of Madrid and the province of Ávila have caused a significant decline in local air quality. Monitoring data indicates that the concentration of particulate matter in the affected areas has risen to levels well above recommended safety standards.

Exposure to this smoke is linked to long-term impairment of lung function, as well as an increased risk of developing cancer, contracting infections, and higher mortality rates.
