- The smoke from these wildfires contains pollutants that negatively impact air quality, health, ecosystems, and crops.
- Heatwaves exacerbate air quality issues, leading to the production of ozone and particulate matter.
- The combination of high temperatures and aerosol levels affected human health and agriculture globally.
- High significant crop losses reported in India and China.
