Which of the following is the human health impact most closely associated with atmospheric particulates?

• Cataracts

• Diabetes

• Melanoma

• Asthma

• Obesity

Smoke from forest fires is most likely to affect air quality over larger areas for many days when

• smog is produced due to chemical reactions in the atmosphere

• a persistent atmospheric inversion exists in the region

• oak trees are burned, releasing terpenes into the atmosphere

• primary, rather than secondary, forests are burned

• vegetation in the region is green and burns more slowly
