     Wildfires burn thousands of acres of land every year, resulting in drastic changes in land use and land cover (LULC). The burn scars left behind by these wildfires have the potential to alter local weather, climate, and hydrology. A typical example of the drastic change in LULC is the burn scar that resulted from the November 2018 Camp Fire that devastated Paradise, California.

     Over the last five decades, the land area burned by forest fires in the western United States has increased tenfold. This trend is expected to continue and even accelerate under the influence of climate change. Given this scenario, the societal impacts of wildfires are of interest. While the impact of wildfires on the loss of human life, property, and air pollution is obvious, less understood are secondary environmental impacts that affect regions remote from the location of the fires. Recent studies show that smoke from wildfires is expected to become the major air pollutant in the United States. However, the potential impact of wildfires on water quality, especially mercury contamination, is not well studied.

     On Monday, September 11, 2023, the city of Darnah, Libya experienced the [deadliest flood disaster of the 21st century](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.aa.com.tr/en/environment/floods-in-libya-s-derna-worst-disaster-in-21st-century/2992617&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1709231595507737&usg=AOvVaw3MuRygRSSxtExzI_shVddG), and Africa’s deadliest flood ever recorded. A storm in the Mediterranean Sea dubbed ‘Medicane Daniel’ moved over northeastern Libya on the evening of the 10th, dumping prolific rain over the desert the morning of the 11th. A record 16” of rainfall was measured in 24 hours at the city of Al-Bayda, Libya (just west of Derna) from ‘Medicane’ Daniel. Two dams upstream of Darnah collapsed during the heavy rains leading to approximately [25% of the city being destroyed](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/more-than-1000-bodies-recovered-libyan-city-after-floods-minister-2023-09-12/&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1709231595509452&usg=AOvVaw083l0kMybsbbwT18u4SVTm). The first dam broke around 3:00 AM local time on September 11th, and the second followed suit shortly thereafter, which exacerbated the death toll greatly. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) reported that proceeding the dam bursts, a wave as high as 23 feet (7 meters) rushed towards the city. With a population of 120,000, the major city of Darnah saw massive destruction, with entire districts of the city being washed away.Nearly 1,000 buildings are estimated to have been completely destroyed as well as 5 major bridges that connect the west and east sides of the city. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs initially reported a death toll currently sits at 11,300 with another 10,100 reported missing. This estimate was later revised to [3,958 fatalities](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/18/libya-floods-conflicting-death-tolls-greek-aid-workers-die-in-crash) on September 18.

     Atlantic hurricane season stretches from June 1 to November 30, and generally reaches a peak in August and September. On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian made landfall in southwest Florida as a Category 4 hurricane (based on the Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale), with estimated wind speeds of 150 MPH. The toll was high, leaving 158 people dead and producing $110 billion in damage in Florida alone. The hurricane also left a devastating impact on the landscape in portions of southwest Florida near Fort Myers. A storm surge reached unprecedented levels of 12 to 18 feet around the regions of Cape Coral and Fort Myers. A storm surge is the sudden rise in ocean water above normal tide levels during a storm such as a tropical cyclone or other strong low pressure system as wind from the storm pushes water ashore. An analysis in Figure 1 from the U.S. National Hurricane Center’s review of Hurricane Ian shows the storm surge’s heavy impact on the southwest Florida coast. The storm surge is attributed as the primary cause of fatalities along the coast of southwestern Florida.

     On August 8, 2023, the city of Lahaina, Hawai’i located on the island of Maui faced a devastating wildfire, leaving destruction and despair in its wake. The city of over 13,000 residents bore witness to a tragedy that would go down as the deadliest U.S. wildfire since 1918. A downed powerline on Lahainaluna Road initiated the wildfire. Though initially extinguished, the fire was reinvigorated by strong winds near the surface caused by air funneling through the channel between Maui and Molokai; a phenomenon known as a [gap wind](https://glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Gap_wind).

     Environmental Justice (EJ) advocates for a fair distribution of environmental benefits and risks, regardless of race, color, or socioeconomic status [1]. In places such as Dallas [2], Stockton [3], and others [4] where proximity to landfills significantly impact health outcomes, environmental justice principles become especially relevant.     Since the General Accounting Office (GAO) [5] published “Siting Hazardous Waste Landfills and Their Correlation with Racial and Economic Status of Surrounding Communities,”  researchers from various disciplines such as law, sociology, public policy, geosciences, and economics have explored such relationships, using various measures of exposure, spatial scales, and statistical controls. Consistently, these studies have shown that while air quality has improved in the United States over the past several decades, people of color (POC), particularly Black and Hispanic American populations, bear an unequal burden of the environmental impacts stemming from landfills. Moreover, research into the roles of race and income have highlighted race as the most significant factor in determining exposure to environmental hazards. As with other EJ concerns, the underlying causes of systemic disparities in racial/ethnic air pollution exposure are complex and intertwined with historical patterns of exclusion and discrimination, perpetuating cycles of injustice that manifest in impacts on health, urban planning, and real estate values.

     ### Introduction
     Pork producers in eastern North Carolina call the stench of pig waste [“the smell of money”](https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23003487/north-carolina-hog-pork-bacon-farms-environmental-racism-black-residents-pollution-meat-industry) but to the local residents, it’s the scent of environmental inequalities. The proliferation of hog farms in this area has raised significant environmental justice concerns, particularly within low socioeconomic status communities. For example, black North Carolinians are  150% more likely than white residents to live within three miles of a hog farm. Thus, minority populations face disproportionate exposure to the harmful effects of Concentrated Animal Farming Operations (CAFOs).
