A large forest fire releases hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide and vast quantities of fine particulate matter (\(PM_{2.5}\)) that can degrade air quality thousands of miles away. [1, 2, 3]
Key Pollution Output Examples
·
Carbon and CO₂: Extreme mega-fires—such as the 2023 Canadian forest fires—can release about 640 million metric tons of carbon (or hundreds of millions to billions of tons of CO₂) in a single season, rivaling the annual fossil fuel emissions of major industrialized nations. ·
California can’t replant its forests fast enough to keep up with wildfires
