CANADIAN FOREST FIRES ADD TO U.S. POLLUTION
Forest fires burning in Canada's Northwest Territories in
1995 contributed to high levels of carbon monoxide more
than 2,000 miles away in the eastern United States, according
to a study in today's issue of Science. "Fires can have
a far reach," said Gerhard Wotawa, a scientist at the University
of Agricultural Sciences in Vienna, Austria. "Together with
local and regional manmade pollution sources, the fires
also contributed to increased ozone levels."
