Emissions from burning biomass (including fossil fuels) are major features of our environment and are the 4th leading global risk factor for premature death. As countries shift their patterns of energy use in response to global warming, new challenges are emerging. Understanding this is crucial to our ability to maintain health and stability in uncertain times. This CRE will examine the health consequences of (1) fossil fuel combustion, (2) landscape fires and (3) alternatives to fossil fuels.

燃烧生物质（包括化石燃料）产生的排放是我们环境的主要特征，也是导致过早死亡的第四大全球风险因素。随着各国为应对全球变暖而改变能源使用模式，新的挑战正在出现。理解这一点对于我们在不确定时期保持健康和稳定的能力至关重要。该综合招聘考试将审查（1）化石燃料燃烧，（2）景观火灾和（3）化石燃料替代品的健康后果。
