From the text ... 'Thus, the intent of this paper is to suggest that prescribed fire can be used in a manner that, on balance with wildfire, provides a net reduction in air emissions and a net improvement and benefit to air quality and public health, while maintaining the health of fire-dependent ecosystems. Idealistic? Perhaps, but certainly a goal of great importance to public health and ecosystem health.'
