Impacts are most pronounced in Southern California’s low-income communities

California’s wildfire burn area has increased by more than 23,000 acres per year over the past two decades, and the number of people who have been adversely affected has nearly doubled. In a paper published recently in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, UCI researchers show that elderly and low-income residents have […]

New assessment from UCI, other institutions used near-real-time data to track emissions

With more people staying home, UCI-led research on health effects of indoor air quality takes on new urgency

Scientists who normally study how human activities impact the planet have been given a rare opportunity over the past few months to observe what happens when industry, transportation and other sources of carbon emissions are curtailed. Steve Davis, UCI associate professor of Earth system science, is part of an international cohort of researchers measuring the […]
