Prescribed fire is applied across the United States as a fuel treatment to manage the impact of wildfires and restore ecosystems. While the recent application of prescribed fire has largely been confined to the southeastern US, the increase in catastrophic wildfires has accelerated the growth of prescribed fire more broadly. To effectively achieve wildfire risk reduction benefits, which includes reducing the amount of smoke emitted, the area treated by prescribed fire must come into contact with a subsequent wildfire.

The Green Heart Project is a controlled, community-based clinical trial to evaluate the effects of increasing greenery on community health. The study was initiated in 2018 in a low-to-middle-income residential area of nearly 30,000 racially diverse residents in Louisville, KY. Community engagement was maintained throughout the project, with feedback integrated into its design and implementation.

This article summarizes a database for analyzing the impact of structural and environmental characteristics on residential property values in Hamilton County, TN. The original dataset consists of house characteristics data for 873 residential sales between January 1, 2023, and September 25, 2023. Using Google's API tools and Point to Edge computations, several geographical variables-including the distance to green recreational areas, surrounding facilities, restaurants, air quality index, walk score-were gathered.

In face of cumulating evidence about the impact of human-induced environmental changes on mental health and behavior, our understanding of the main effects and interactions between environmental factors - i.e., the exposome and the brain - is still limited.

Wind erosion from farmland is a significant contributor to atmospheric particulate matter, particularly PM (atmospheric particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 μm), in regions with intensive agricultural activities such as the North China Plain (NCP). However, the specific impact of farmland dust emissions on regional air quality remains underexplored. This study integrated the Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) model with the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) to investigate the effect of agricultural dust emissions on PM concentrations in the NCP.
