When peatlands burn, the stored CO2 gets released into the atmosphere, together other GHGs such as carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4). The accompanying smoke plumes contribute to air pollution, affecting wildlife and human health. Deforestation fires emissions.

There are many human-made sources of emissions, and on-road motor vehicles, such as cars, are a huge driving factor in air pollution. Motor vehicle exhaust is one big source of ground-level ozone or smog, fine particulate matter, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. Courtesy of Stephy Miehle/Unsplash. Gets You Outside.

Over 156 million people in the US are exposed to unhealthy levels of air pollutants, according to the recently published 2025 State-of-the Air report from the American Lung Association (ALA). For 25 years the report has helped people across the country understand the quality of the air in their communities.

None of that means climate change isn’t, and won’t continue to be, a factor in global health, particularly if action to prevent it also reduces air pollution, or removes other health stressors. Carbon emissions are thus following the same trajectory as other air pollutants.

Recently, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released a report that will likely have major effects on how the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protects people from dangerous air pollutants. At issue is the EPA’s process of compiling what the agency calls an “integrated science assessment.”
