Article Abstract
There is extensive evidence that long-term exposure to all-source PM increases mortality. However, to date, no study has evaluated whether this effect is exacerbated in the presence of wildfire events. Here, we study 60+ million older US adults and find that wildfire events increase the harmful effects of long-term all-source PM exposure on mortality, providing a new and realistic conceptualization of wildfire health risks.

Pregnancy, placentas and smoke exposure: multiple understandings of pregnant embodiment during the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires.

The health implications of prolonged wildfire smoke exposure - such as that seen during the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires - are a major concern in public health, not only in Australia but in many fire-prone areas globally. One group identified as potentially more susceptible to smoke exposure than the general population are pregnant women. Based on a study of how pregnant women and parents with newborn babies experienced the bushfire smoke event in Canberra and the NSW southeast coast, the paper examines how the placenta was figured across two domains during this time.

Climate change is resulting in more extreme fire weather during major heatwaves. Across temperate Europe, shrub landscapes dominate the area burned, with the moisture content of fuels during these events determining the threat posed. Current controls on the moisture content of temperate fuel constituents and their response to future extreme heatwaves are not known.

Introduction: Impacts of climate change on human health receive increasing attention. However, the connections of climate change with well-being and mental health are still poorly understood.
Objective: As part of the Horizon Europe project TRIGGER, we aim to deepen the understanding of the relationships between climate change and human mental health and well-being in Europe by focusing on environmental and socio-individual determinants.
Dendrochronological and dendrochemical approaches to assess lindane contamination in pine tree rings at the Bailín landfill site (Sabiñánigo, Huesca, Spain).

Dendrochronology-the scientific method of dating tree rings-has been widely applied to reconstruct past environmental events such as paleoclimatic variation, climate change, wildfire history, droughts, floods, and glacial dynamics. However, its application to track the historical deposition of persistent organic pollutants remains underexplored. In this study, we analyzed annual growth rings of Pinus sylvestris to reconstruct the temporal dynamics of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomer contamination at the Bailín landfill site (Sabiñánigo, northeastern Spain) over the period 1979-2018.

The cessation of traditional mountain grazing has emerged as a principal driver of habitat degradation and the local extinction of (Linnaeus, 1758) in Serbia. While previous studies have cited multiple contributing factors, our research provides evidence that the abandonment of extensive livestock grazing has triggered vegetation succession, the disappearance of the larval host plant (), and a reduction in microhabitat heterogeneity-conditions essential for the persistence of this stenophagous butterfly species. Through satellite-based analysis of vegetation dynamics (2015-2024), we identified clear structural differences between habitats that currently support populations and those where the species is no longer present.
