Conceptual diagram of military burn pit exposure health effects. PM and toxins are generated by incomplete combustion in burn pits. A portion of PM becomes airborne and is inhaled by personnel in the area. Inhaled PM enters the lungs where accumulation occurs coincident with activation of systemic ...
Native forests and plantations occupy a central role in the discussion of the international policy agenda during the last decades. Policy discussions centre on the role of forests in addressing the global challenges for economic development and the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss on ec...
More than 50 years ago, the US government passed the Clean Air Act of 1970 to address air pollution from industrial sources.Air quality improvedacross much of the country for decades. In recent years, though, events like wildfires haveworsened air quality. Smoke and particulate from fires can ...

In general, if the goal is to store C in the forest, management practices should involve positioning forests to become more healthy, resistant and resilient to avoid or withstand disturbance, such as the anticipated increased climate-change-induced insect and disease epidemics and wildfires (Malmshei...
A growing number of studies have investigated the effects of wildfires on water quantity, water quality, aquatic ecology, and downstream drinking water supply (e.g., Hallema et al., 2018b, Kinoshita et al., 2014, Loiselle et al., 2020, Moody et al., 2016, Moreno et al., 2020, Rust...
