Areas of Fairbanks and North Pole continue to struggle with wintertime smoke pollution. Many residents of the interior community rely on wood heat, and as KUAC’s Dan Bross reports, a North Star Borough sponsored conference is exploring ways to reduce emissions tied to serious health problems.

Dan has been in public radio news in Alaska since 1993. He’s worked as a reporter, newscaster and talk show host at stations in McGrath, Valdez and Fairbanks. Dan’s experience includes coverage of a wide range of topics, from wolf control to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and dog mushing.
