- Wildfires - NASA Earthdata
Wildfire is an essential process connecting terrestrial systems to the atmosphere and climate As vegetation burns, it releases smoke, carbon, and other materials into the atmosphere These fires also release nutrients into the soil and are an integral part of ecological succession, plant germination, and soil enhancement However, wildfires can also pose a hazard to human health and life The
- Wildfires - World Health Organization (WHO)
Wildfires that burn near populated areas can have significant impact on the environment, property, livestock and human mortality and morbidity depending on the size, speed and proximity to the fire, and whether the population has advanced warning to evacuate Wildfire smoke is a mixture of air pollutants of which particulate matter (PM) is the principal public health threat PM 2 5 from
