Extreme air pollution events from bushfires and dust storms and their association with mortality in Sydney, Australia 1994-2007
TL;DR: The magnitude and temporal patterns of association with mortality were different for smoke and dust events and public health advisories during bushfire smoke pollution episodes should include advice about hot weather in addition to air pollution.

Suicide and drought in New South Wales, Australia, 1970-2007
TL;DR: Investigating the possibility that droughts substantially increase the incidence of suicide in rural populations in Australia between 1970 and 2007 found an increased relative risk of suicide for rural males aged 30–49 y when the drought index rose from the first quartile to the third quartile, and for rural females aged >30 y with increased values of the drought Index.

Léan V. O'Brien,Léan V. O'Brien,Helen L. Berry,Helen L. Berry,Clare Coleman,Ivan Hanigan,Ivan Hanigan +6 more
TL;DR: Drought characteristics associated with poor mental health were identified and one pattern of relative dryness was associated with increased distress for rural but not urban dwellers, showing that it is possible to quantitatively identify an association between patterns of drought and distress.

Vegetation fire smoke, indigenous status and cardio-respiratory hospital admissions in Darwin, Australia, 1996-2005: a time-series study
TL;DR: Positive associations between vegetation fire smoke and daily hospital admissions for respiratory diseases that were stronger in indigenous people were observed and these results are consistent with the currently small evidence base concerning this source of air pollution.
Evaluation of interventions to reduce air pollution from biomass smoke on mortality in Launceston, Australia: retrospective analysis of daily mortality, 1994-2007.
TL;DR: Decreased air pollution from ambient biomass smoke was associated with reduced annual mortality in males and with reduced cardiovascular and respiratory mortality during winter months and there were no significant changes in mortality in the control city of Hobart.
