A brief external-facing summary: As a result of anthropogenic climate change, an alteration in the air mixture has occurred over time. These changes have increased human exposures to respiratory irritants such as ground-level ozone, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Regarding aeroallergens, studies have shown that elevated temperatures and increased carbon dioxide levels have produced prolonged and more robust pollen seasons for most taxa studied.

The article highlights that urban environments, while historically shaped by colonialism and displacement, are now vital spaces for Indigenous resurgence and self-determination. Through innovative, community-driven food sovereignty initiatives, urban Indigenous groups are revitalizing traditional knowledge, strengthening cultural identity, and fostering healing relationships with land. These efforts not only address pressing issues like food insecurity and loss of cultural practices but also demonstrate the adaptability and resilience of Indigenous peoples. By reclaiming agency over their food systems and nurturing intergenerational connections, urban Indigenous communities are building inclusive, sustainable futures rooted in ancestral wisdom and ecological stewardship.
This study investigated the links between oil and gas well proximity and indoor air volatile organic compounds among pregnant Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants in Northeastern British Columbia.
