The air quality for this report was calculated using data reviewed by EPA from 2020, 2021, and 2022. That means it includes the extreme wildfires exacerbated by the fossil fuel industry that burned more than 4% of California in 2021 and 2022. Ozone, too, poses significant risks to respiratory health.

When a firework explodes, it releases a combination of fine particulate matter (which includes heavy metals, as well as poisonous gases) into the atmosphere. Studies have also shown that fireworks can create a ‘burst’ of ozone formation, also harmful to human health. This can cause a rapid impact on the surrounding air quality.

Guest Post By Erin Boedicker , 2020-2021 Sustainability Leadership Fellow and Ph.D. When fuels are burned to create energy in a process called combustion, black carbon along with carbon monoxide and other compounds are created because there is not enough oxygen in the atmosphere for the reaction to go to completion.

“If I look at the next 50 years, next hundred years maybe, nobody will be able to set up a telescope that’s powerful enough to resolve surface features,” says Jonathan Jiang , an atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, who uses Earth as a laboratory to model exoplanets. New eyes on alien worlds.

The scope was finally launched on 25 December 2021, at 7:20 a.m. That is because before it can push the envelope of what science and space technology can achieve, it had to first overcome a dangerous deep-space unpacking: its 6.5 Two decades of developmental hell have now passed and the JWST is finally ready to make its grand entrance.
