Wildfire and climatic change

Wildfire plays a major role in the forest ecosystem. But wild fire had many environmental related benefits like they can cut back the sick or dead trees and let the trees to re-grow for later. This proves that fire not destroy but also give re-growth to the tress in the forest. Wildfires are unpredictable and unplanned fires occur in the forest. Wildfires are burn at a temperature more than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is twice hot as the surface of Venus. It will also spread faster at the ground, twice the human can run. There must be three things present, like oxygen, heat and fuel, a fire will start. This can be called as a fire triangle by foresters. If there is any plenty of these elements, the fire will spread towards the direction. To control the fire, we should limit any one of these in the three elements.

Effects of Wildfires

Plant purifies the atmospheric air by taking carbon dioxides and impurity air and release oxygen. When plant life is extinguished by fires, the quality of air that we breathe will dismiss and greenhouse gas will increase in the atmosphere will lead to change in climate and global warming. The clouds of huge smoke by wildfires will lead to air pollution. If the greenhouse gas will increase it will lead to global warming and the smoke and dust which destroy will cause air pollution.

We all know that forest soils are loaded with nutrients arise from decaying of remaining forest. There are some numerous natural features in the forest soil. While the burning of trees and leaves, the soil expose to make it readily unsafe to soil erosion. The entire value of the soil destroys due to high temperature caused by wildfires.

 In dry tropical forest the commonly happen major issue was forest fire. During the forest fire, thousands of acres of trees are removed. Every year, during forest fire are shows that the quality of forest features like soil fertility, biodiversity and ecosystem will reduced.

The smoke from wildfires are mostly water vapour, also it contains gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide and other particulate matter which affect human health.

Causes of Wildfire

90% of wildfires may cause by humans. A worldwide study of smoking related fire by epidemiologists says that the smoking is the cause of fire. The effect and dust also cause breathing trouble and will lead to respiratory disorders. Due to climatic change, since 2000, an average of 72,400 wildfires had burned an average of 7.0 million acres.

 In the earth’s crusts is usually discharges hot magma which releases lava during volcanic eruption. Magma is a molten rock found below the earth surface.

Wildfires have both immediate and long-term effects on air quality. Large amount of smoke released in the atmosphere during wildfire. The fire during air pollution may travel to a greater distance and it may affect the human health. It makes difficult to breathe when we are inhaling the polluted air.

Wildfire will affect local atmospheric pollution, and release carbon in the form of carbon dioxide. The ash and smoke generated during wildfires will pollute the atmosphere and affect the human health issue while people breathe the polluted gas. The health issues like breathing problems, eye irritation and respiratory disease are the common heath issue while people live near the fire areas.

Air Quality in Ghaziabad

Ghaziabad is the biggest and most population city in the National Capital region. Ghaziabad is famous for the traditional Hindon river. Now a day, this Hindon river had became dirty water due to violation on the river land. This is also the reason for toxic air pollutants. So, dams should be constructed on the Hindon river. This will control dust pollution naturally. 35-40% of people endure around the Hindon river may be expose with water-borne disease, which spread through water.

The city of Ghaziabad appeared as most polluted city with air quality index across the country which is lower under value of 335 was very poor released by central pollution control board. Both Noida and greater Noida are in very poor category due to rise in air pollution. Four monitoring station was recorded 335, the average air quality index in Ghaziabad on Thursday(24.10.19). On Wednesday the district officials declared that the air quality was good due to better implementation in which the agencies charged a penalty of Rs.2.23 crore from October 15 to October 22 as Rs.1.79 crore recommended last year.

The metrological department officials, says pollution level will remain same for next 2-3 days. Due to the strong blowing of the wind, pollutants were spread at the speed of 20-25kmpr in the earlier days. The pollution captured due to burning of stalks (the cut stalks of cereal plants left sticking out of the ground after the grain is harvested) in Haryana and Punjab.

Average Air Quality in Ghaziabad was very poor on Nov 7 2019. These will cause health impacts of respiratory illness and prolonged exposure. The Air Quality Index of Ghaziabad may vary from different Air Monitoring Stations at Ghaziabad. The Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, that the Air Quality Index (AQI) was 320 due to significant pollutant of PM2.5,UPPCB from Sanjay Nagar, Ghaziabad says 360 -very poor to breathe and UPPCB from Vasundhara, Ghaziabad says 329-very poor. All monitoring stations from Ghaziabad say that the quality of the air was very poor but the index of the air quality may differ. PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, CO and O3 may pollute the air and these are calculated to find the quality of the air that we breathe.
