Abstract

In this Review, we aim to reveal an unrecognised source of causality leading to increases in
combustibility, intensity, and the extent of California, United States of America wildfires, and the
concomitant harm to human and environmental health. We review literature, including scientific and
medical, and evidence, including photographic, of near-daily, near-global jet-spraying particulates in
the atmosphere as related to wildfires. We review the evidence that atmospheric manipulation utilising
aerosolised coal fly ash is a primary factor in the extent and severity of forest fires in California and
elsewhere; adverse effects include exacerbation of drought, tree and vegetation die-off and
desiccation, and unnaturally heating the atmosphere and surface regions of Earth. Forest
combustibility is increased by moisture-absorbing aerosolised particles that damage the waxy
coatings of leaves and needles, reducing their tolerance to drought. The aerial climate manipulation
using coal fly ash greatly increases the potential for forest fire ignition by lightening. Wildfires
dramatically worsen baseline air pollution, emitting harmful gases and volatile organic compounds,
and they both concentrate and re-emit toxic elements and radioactive nuclides over a wide area. The
type of air pollution created by wildfires is associated with increased all-cause mortality, with the
greatest impact on respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown that aerosolised coal
fly ash is an important risk factor for chronic lung disease, lung cancer and neurodegenerative
disease. Failure to recognise multifold adverse consequences of jet-spraying particulates into the
atmosphere, we submit, will continue the progression of ever-accelerating ecological disasters.
