Wildfire effects on water quality: Current research

EPA's Air and Energy (A-E) Research Program has supported some research historically in the area of wildfire impacts on ecosystems and human health. This presentation will provide a short snapshot of the motivation, goals, approach and findings on the research ORD-CPHEA is conducting on wildfire impacts on water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
