Amidst the frigid embrace of Fairbanks, where winter’s grip tightens its icy fingers, a new revelation casts a shadow over the cozy warmth of home heating. Research uncovers a sobering truth: combustion from residential heating fuels unleashes a torrent of sulfate pollution that stains the very air Fairbanks breathes. This insidious culprit lurks in the depths of our heating systems, silently contributing to the Fairbanks skyline, not with beauty, but with an unseen haze of pollution. It’s a stark reminder that the comforts we seek in the face of winter’s chill come at a hidden cost.
