Prescribed burning produces particulate and gaseous air pollutants in relatively small amounts over the course of an entire year. However, on any given day, the pollutants resulting from prescribed burning may constitute a major fraction of the local or regional air pollution load. Research now underway at the Southern Forest Fire Laboratory is aimed at providing burning prescriptions that include considerations of resulting smoke plumes and their impact on air quality.
