Wildfires May Emit More Air Pollution Than Previously Estimated

Tsinghua PhD candidate Huang Lyuyin introduces research revealing that wildland fires may release significantly more organic pollutants than previously estimated. Using a new global emission inventory, the team found that fires emitted an average of about 143 million tons of organic compounds annually from 1997 to 2023—around 21% higher than earlier estimates. The findings could improve air-quality modeling, health-risk assessment, and climate policy.
