June 4 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Hosted by NEHA
Webinar | June 4, 2024, 1 pm ET
Increasing temperatures and extended drought seasons, resulting from climate change, impact the risk and extent of wildfires in North America.
In this webinar, experts will discuss:
- Factors fueling wildfires
- The toxic composition and health impacts of wildfire smoke
- The impact of climate-driven outdoor air pollution episodes (wildfires, dust events, and temperature inversions) on indoor air quality
They will also provide resources, including communication strategies, to navigate the complexities of wildfire smoke and air quality in preparation for wildfire season.
