How Do Wildfires Affect the Environment?

Air Pollution

Wildfires are harmful to our environment. The burning of biomass emits a large amount of carbon dioxide.

Destruction of Habitats

Water Runoff

As a result of wildfires, soil erosion increases and aquatic ecosystems get exposed to metallic accumulations.
