Heatwaves and fires are worsening air pollution, according to a report by the World Meteorological Organization. Fine dust from wildfires is more problematic than from other sources and can increase health risks. Rising temperatures also promote the formation of ground-level ozone, which damages respiratory systems and ecosystems.
