Decades of intensive fire control have actually made forests more vulnerable to severe wildfires. Controlled burns provide a safer and cost-effective way to reduce risk, restore ecosystems, and build long-term wildfire resilience.
The summer season can impact air quality due to its high temperatures and weather patterns, which can not only increase the concentration of harmful air pollutants such as ground-level ozone but also degrade air quality and threaten human health through air stagnation, heat waves, drought, and an increased risk of wildfire.
The impacts of air pollution and climate change cannot be contained to one geographical area, making it essential for different levels of government — including local, state, and national agencies — to cooperate to mitigate these environmental crises.
Renewable sources of energy, like wind and solar, are an increasingly viable alternative to fossil fuels and have vast benefits for air quality and the climate.
We're exploring air pollution and agriculture's two-way relationship as we recognize the ways that both impact each other, especially as compounded by climate change.
We're sharing the major takeaways from our webinar, covering topics from air pollution sources to monitoring network design to effectively leveraging air quality data.
As the 2022 midterm elections quickly approach, we're taking a look at the different environmentally-oriented state propositions and key electoral races.
By recognizing the multitude of impacts that air quality has on other sectors, we can leverage the co-benefits that come with cleaner air to galvanize action.
As climate change exacerbates wildfires, it is crucial to understand both the short- and long-term impacts wildfires have on human and environmental health.
Because cities play a major role in air quality and climate health, it is essential that they establish high-resolution air quality monitoring networks.
As climate change progresses and environmental disasters that contribute to air pollution intensify, it is more important than ever to have resilient air quality monitoring.
