John Abraham, professor of mechanical engineering, spoke to WCCO-TV about recent Canadian wildfires and how the smoke affects the air quality in Minnesota.
From the story:
Canadian wildfires, along with wildfires in northern Minnesota, have had an effect on the quality of the air in Minnesota this summer. Dr. John Abraham, a professor at University of St. Thomas, shares more information.
“What we’re seeing is an intensification of the wildfire process. When the Earth warms and our atmosphere changes, it creates the conditions for these fires to become bigger, last longer and put more smoke into the air. It matters to us because it affects our health and air quality. Minnesota is in the path of this smoke.”
