</i></font><font face="Calibri"><b>Has the smoke made you
forgetful?</b><br>
Kelly Andersson August 15, 2023 <br>
Particulate matter (PM) is a chemical composition of smoke,
including sulfates, carbon, nitrates, or mineral dusts. It stems
from vehicle and industrial emissions and other fossil fuel
burning, and researchers are now increasingly examining wildfires
and the effects of longterm exposure to wildfire smoke that affect
respiratory illnesses and other impacts to human health.<br>
<br>
A subset of PM — fine particulate matter (PM2.5) — is especially
dangerous to human health because it’s 30 times thinner than a
human hair and can not only lodge in lung tissue but also cross
into the brain after it’s inhaled.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Scientists from the University of Michigan have
identified a link between agriculture and wildfire PM2.5 emissions
and the onset of dementia among 27,857 adult Americans, with data
drawn from the national Health and Retirement Study. Pollution
estimates were based on the locations of the participants, who
were older than 50 and did not have dementia at the outset. About
15 percent of the study participants developed dementia, but the
rate of cognitive decline was significantly greater in the areas
of high PM2.5 concentration between 1998 and 2016.<br>
<br>
This joins a growing body of evidence forming a significant link
between the microscopic toxins and dementia. The research was
published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.<br>

<b>Climate geoengineering, PM2.5, and dementia</b><br>
Giovanni Ghirga, Pediatrician | International Society of Doctors
for the Environment (Italy)<br>
This interesting research brings about a deep reflection on
interventions aimed at slowing down global warming.<br>
In the realm of climate change mitigation, geoengineering
technologies have sparked both curiosity and concern. One proposed
method, global stratospheric aerosol injection, aims to counteract
rising global temperatures by releasing substances, such as
sulphate aerosols, into the lower stratosphere to reflect sunlight
back into space. A recent analysis delved into the potential
consequences of implementing this technology, comparing it with
scenarios involving uncontrolled climate change.<br>
Findings of this study revealed an increase in mortality rates due
to elevated levels of PM2.5 sulphate particles as a result of this
geoengineering approach. Furthermore, there could be a potential
rise in dementia incidence associated with the increased
concentration of PM2.5 particles resulting from stratospheric
aerosol injection.<br>
The potential link between PM2.5 particles and an increase in
dementia cases raises additional concerns about the unintended
consequences of this particular geoengineering technique.<br>

</font><font face="Calibri"><b>Stratospheric aerosol injection may
impact global systems and human health outcomes </b></font><br>
<blockquote><font face="Calibri">Solar radiation management (SRM) is
a climate engineering strategy to reduce temperature increases
due to global climate change. The most well-researched SRM
methodology is stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), which
involves increasing the concentration of aerosol particles in
the stratosphere to reduce the amount of solar radiation
reaching Earth’s surface. The most considered and heavily
researched aerosol for SAI is sulfate. SAI has been extensively
modeled using various climate scenarios and investigated using
data from previous volcanic eruptions, which provide an analog
of the climate effects of SAI. Prior research has determined
that SAI will not only decrease global temperatures but is
likely to have direct impacts on ecosystem and public health.
This review seeks to investigate the various ways by which SAI
may impact global public health outcomes related to hydrologic
cycling, atmospheric chemical cycling, frequency of natural
disasters, food system disruptions, and ecological health
through the pathways of water, air, soil, and biota. SAI has the
potential to decrease negative health outcomes associated with
rising temperatures but may have a myriad of impacts on global
environmental systems. Anthropogenically altering the global
climate, through both the release of greenhouse gases or through
climatic engineering, has unknown consequences, many of which
will likely impact global health and quality of life. A more
holistic approach is necessary to understand the relative
benefits and harms in using SAI as compared to the implication
of global climate change.</font><br>

<b>How kids are making sense of climate change and extreme weather</b><br>
October 7, 2023<br>
Janet W. Lee <br>
When three fifth-graders in Washington state sat down to make a
podcast, they didn't have to look far to find a good topic.<br>
<br>
"Wildfires are a problem and they're dangerous," they say in their
podcast from Chautauqua Elementary School, on Vashon Island. "But
there's ways to prevent them, so respect wildfire safety
precautions and do your best to prevent these fires."<br>
<br>
This entry from Roz Hinds, Jia Khurana and Sadie Pritsky was among
more than 100 podcasts this year in NPR's Student Podcast
Challenge that touched on a topic that's increasingly important to
young people: climate change. Over and over again, student
journalists tried making sense of extreme weather events that are
becoming more common or more intense: flash floods, hurricanes,
droughts, wildfires.<br>
</p>
<p>Here are four student podcasts that offer a glimpse into the
minds of students and what they have to say about climate-related
news in their communities — and what they hope to do about it.</p>
<b>Behind the Scenes of the Mosquito Fire</b><br>

In a 10-episode series, a sixth-grade class at the Georgetown School
of Innovation in Georgetown, Calif., shares stories from the
devastating Mosquito Fire in 2022. This group of eight students asks
two firefighters from the Georgetown Fire Department what it's like
to fight fires and protect loved ones in their hometown.<br>
<br>
<b>Fires: Set Ablaze</b><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

At Chautauqua Elementary, the Vashon fifth-graders talk about the
far-reaching and lasting impact of wildfires and wildfire smoke —
and the direct effects on their lives, like waiting for the school
bus on a smoky day. The students also interview experts and share
their research on wildfire precautions.<br>
<br>
<b>Flowing Through Time: The Past, Present, and Future of Water</b><br>

In this podcast from Peak Academy, a group of eight middle schoolers
reports on dealing with water shortages in Bozeman, Montana. They
trace the history of their growing hometown's water supply, which
has been dependent on mountain snowmelt. As that source becomes less
reliable in a warming world, the students turn to the grown-ups to
ask what they can do to conserve water.<br>

The deadly flooding in eastern Kentucky last year forever changed
the lives of high schoolers Ryley Bowman, Carolina Johnson and
Hunter Noble. The three classmates at Morgan County High School in
West Liberty, Ky., share firsthand accounts of their own and their
family's experiences during the floods.<br>
