EPA ORD Air, Climate, & Energy Research Webinar – Wildfire Impacts: Beyond Ambient PM2.5 (Toxics, Water Quality)
March 19 @ 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Wildland fire smoke impacts millions of people in the US every year. While the negative impacts of PM2.5 on air quality and human health are well established, wildland fires mobilize other pollutants that impact EPA’s mission areas of clean air and clean water, with implications for human health. This webinar will discuss a wide range of effects of wildland fire on air and water quality, including emerging science on the topic (e.g., pollutants mobilized through the burning of human infrastructure). Finally, the webinar will discuss how this research can inform public communications on the risks of wildland fire and approaches to mitigate those risks.
Presenter: Steve LeDuc, Amara Holder, and Seth Newton, EPA’s Office of Research and Development
Moderators: Sherri Hunt, EPA’s Office of Research and Development
