Synthesis of Comprehensive Emissions Measurements and Multi-Scale Modeling for Understanding Secondary Organic Qerosol Chemistry in Wildland Smoke Plumes

The air quality and fire management communities are faced with increasingly difficult decisions regarding critical fire management activities, given the potential contribution of wildfires and prescribed burns (wildland fires) to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Unfortunately,…

The Role of Composition and Particle Size on the Toxicity of Wildfire Emissions

Short-term exposures to ambient particulate matter (PM) are associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the exposed population, and these same patterns have been noted during wildland fire episodes. Since the scale and frequency of wildfires are expected to increase…

Improving Model Estimates of Smoke Contributions to Regional Haze Using Low-Cost Sampler Systems

Evaluating potential contributions of smoke dispersion, transport and deposition to regional haze from wildland and prescribed fire is difficult and costly, especially for Class I areas. Recent research indicates that various filter pack, denuder and passive monitoring systems…
