The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

Background Climate change is likely to increase the threat of wildfires, and little is known
about how wildfires affect health in exposed communities. A better understanding of the …

Abstract Changes in global fire activity are influenced by a multitude of factors including land‐
cover change, policies, and climatic conditions. This study uses 17 climate models to …

Using data from rural monitoring sites across the contiguous United States, we evaluated
fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) trends for 1988–2016. We calculate trends in the policy …

The sunlight received by plants is affected by cloudiness and pollution. Future changes in
cloud cover will differ among regions, while aerosol concentrations are expected to continue …

This chapter addresses the biogeochemical cycles of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
and nitrous oxide (N2O). The three greenhouse gases have increased in the atmosphere …

This chapter assesses the scientific literature describing expectations for near-term climate
(present through mid-century). Unless otherwise stated," near-term" change and the …

Tropospheric ozone is a key air pollutant and greenhouse gas. Its fate strongly depends on
meteorological conditions and therefore subject to climate change influences. Such …

Very large fires (VLFs) have important implications for communities, ecosystems, air quality
and fire suppression expenditures. VLFs over the contiguous US have been strongly linked …

Despite the substantial evidence on the health effects of short-term exposure to ambient fine
particles (PM2. 5), including increasing studies focusing on those from wildland fire smoke …
