Region(s): Northern Rockies, Northwest
Keywords: PM2.5, PM - particulate matter, health impacts, smoke dispersion

Lesson Overview: From a lab demonstration or video, students learn how smoke disperses (or doesn’t), depending on atmospheric conditions. They learn how smoke affects visibility and human health, especially if it sticks around for days or weeks instead of dispersing into the…
