According to a new study, about four in 10 air pollution deaths in the US are due to emissions crossing state lines.
Millions of Australians far from the bushfires’ direct path have been affected by smoke haze. Here’s everything we know about the effects of bushfire smoke on our health.
When a bushfire burns is one country, smoke drift means it can become the world’s problem. But the law lacks the teeth to hold those responsible to account.
Another troubling consequence of the bushfire smoke is its effects on our eyes. But there are some steps we can take to minimise irritation and any risk of longer term harms.
Bushfire smoke accumulating over Australian cities contains a complex chemical mix which does all sorts of things to the human body.
These harmful pollutants are responsible for 20% of roadside pollution.
This is not the first time Australia’s major cities have been shrouded in bushfire smoke. But this time, the culprits must held to account.
Pollutants like nitrogen dioxide are a silent killer, but everyone isn’t equally at risk.
Smoke haze almost seems to be the new normal in parts of Australia. But what do we know about the dangers to our health in the longer term?
Pregnant women exposed to bushfire smoke face a higher risk of complications including gestational diabetes, high blood pressure and giving birth prematurely.
With smoke haze this week at its most hazardous level yet, people on Australia’s east coast have been taking precautions to protect their health. But some methods are more effective than others.
Fuming, burnt out, drained. Can our smoky cities spark a change in the political atmosphere?
Scientists have a new approach to understanding how pollution threatens species at risk in Canada.
The haze now engulfing Sydney isn’t an isolated problem. Cities around the world struggle to manage the many sources of tiny airborne particles and the discomfort and illnesses these cause.
Waste-to-energy incineration has been raised as a solution to the global plastic waste problem, but the technology adds pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and encourages more waste production.
Scientists who were appointed to advise the EPA on air pollution kept meeting independently after the agency dissolved their panel. They say current regulations aren’t strict enough.
The costs, and the pain, of climate change only increase the longer we wait to act.
Taxi drivers are exposed to twice the level of pollution compared to other drivers.
Investigation of the brains of children and young adults who died suddenly in Mexico City revealed amyloid plaques similar to those found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease.
