Wildfires create a toxic mix of pollution that appears as smoke and ash and pollutes the air we breathe, as well as soil and water. The Beckwourth Complex Fire, burning along the Nevada state line, is currently the largest 2021 wildfire burning in the US. What you see here is the air quality in the area.

Up in flames After recording Canada’s highest ever temperature on 29 June 2021, Lytton in British Columbia had to be evacuated as wildfires engulfed the town and destroyed most of its buildings. As air sunk through the atmosphere, it got squeezed and heated. And how are they linked to wildfire, air pollution and other hazards?

Natural gas cryogenic plants take natural gas and cool it to sub-zero temperatures-- minus 120 degrees Fahrenheit-- in order to condense and separate out liquids like butane, ethane and propane from the gas. Black smoke is an incomplete combustion and that’s a [air pollution] violation. Click Here for more.
