The Growing Threat of Wildfires

The Growing Threat of Wildfires

An Urgent Global Concern

 Wildfires are becoming more frequent, severe, and prolonged across the globe, posing significant threats to ecosystems and communities.

- ⚠ *Increased Risk Factors*: The likelihood of wildfires intensifies under extremely dry conditions, including droughts, heat waves, and high winds.
  
- ☢ *Hazardous Smoke*: Wildfire smoke contains a mix of harmful air pollutants, such as PM2.5, NO2, ozone, aromatic hydrocarbons, and lead. This not only degrades air quality but also contributes to climate change by releasing substantial amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

- ???? *Impact of Climate Change*: As climate change leads to higher temperatures and drier environments, the severity and frequency of wildfires are escalating, highlighting an urgent need for action.
