Our toxic dystopian world @1.5C
“It’s a bad-news scenario. It’s quite scary.”
Decades of mining have left northern Canadian soils contaminated with metals like arsenic and lead, which are now being released as wildfires burn through peatlands and old industrial zones

Toxic metals may be spreading through wildfire smoke as Canadian peatlands burn
A thick cloud of smoke from hundreds of wildfires in Canada is carrying more than just carbon, as scientists warn that arsenic, lead, and other toxic metals trapped in soil could be released into the ...
