The private well water climate impact index: Characterization of community-level climate-related hazards and vulnerability in the continental United States.

Background: Private wells use groundwater as their source and their drinking water quality is unregulated in the United States at the federal level. Due to the lack of water quality regulations, those reliant on private wells have the responsibility of ensuring that the water is safe to drink. Where extreme weather is projected to increase with climate change, contamination due to climate-related hazards adds further layers of complexity for those relying on private wells.

Article Synopsis
- Smoke from forest fires poses significant health risks globally, particularly affecting regions like the Amazon basin, where agricultural practices contribute to air quality issues.
- Public health authorities struggle to predict and manage the effects of smoke, making it challenging to protect communities like Manaus from cardiorespiratory illnesses linked to fire smoke.
- A study found a one-day lag between fire events and increased hospital admissions for respiratory problems, suggesting that an early warning system could help mitigate health impacts in affected areas.
Shrub cover declined as Indigenous populations expanded across southeast Australia.
Science

School of Culture, History, and Language, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- Wildfires in forests are becoming more frequent and intense worldwide due to climate change and human management practices.
- * Indigenous populations in southeastern Australia historically used fire, which helped reduce shrub cover by 50% during the Holocene era.
- * Since British colonization, shrub cover has increased to its highest level ever recorded, raising the risk of intense wildfires.
Three-dimensional distribution of aerosols of multiple types at daily scale using TROPOMI spaceborne observations.

Univ Paris Est Créteil and Université Paris Cité, CNRS, LISA, F-94010 Créteil, France.
We present new satellite-based daily observations of the 3D distribution of aerosols from most common types and origins, both over land and ocean, derived from TROpospheric Ozone Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) measurements. This is done using the so-called AEROS5P (AEROsol Sentinel 5 Precursor) approach which retrieves vertical profiles of aerosol extinction from passive measurements of high-resolution spectral reflectance in the visible and near infrared for cloud-free conditions. Previous work demonstrated the potential of this approach, but it was initially applicable only to biomass burning aerosols with limited spatial coverage over ocean.
