Malicious code, "malware", can do shocking damage, destroying machines, starting fires, spewing pollution or jamming communications.
The huge, new billion-dollar international airport terminal lies a mile or so away, across construction sites, wasteland and rubbish tips, obscured now by a thick winter fog, a mixture of smoke from wood fires and pollution.
Fourth, most fragmented landscapes are also altered by other anthropogenic changes, such as hunting, logging, fires, and pollution, which can interact synergistically with habitat fragmentation.
You can see this effect here on Earth, in the Arctic, where patches of ice have turned black because of the deposition of soots and other particles blown in from fires and pollution at lower latitudes.
In Pakistan's populated plains, replacing kerosene imports with indigenous sunshine using small solar micro-grids could reduce the energy bills of the rural poor, increase their incomes and quality of life, and end the scourge of kerosene fires and pollution.
Vegetation fires generate pollution episodes across wide geographic areas, and major population centers are frequently affected [ 12].
Hygiene practice and microbial exposure and infection in the home If we compare our modern centrally-heated, double-glazed, sealed homes, with homes of the 1950s where coal fires, urban pollution and open windows meant that housewives waged a constant war against dust and dirt, it is easy to make the assumption that modern homes are 'cleaner'cleaner

Over 12,000 faults were analysed to find statistical relationships between local climate, key design parameters of the overhead lines, and the main causes of power system faults identified as bird streamers, lightning, fire and pollution.
For this reason the results from studies specifically examining vegetation fire smoke pollution will almost inevitably have greater technical challenges than studies examining ambient PM regardless of source.
