After a fire has burned, the smoke and gases are released into the atmosphere, where they disperse and mix with the surrounding air. Some of these pollutants may settle on surfaces nearby, while others can be carried by wind currents over long distances. Additionally, certain gases, like carbon dioxide and water vapor, contribute to atmospheric processes. Overall, the byproducts of combustion can have both immediate and long-term environmental impacts.
