Total particulate matter (PM) emissions were estimated for recent fires (1979-1990) and the presettlement period (prior to 1935) in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness (SBW) in Idaho and Montana. Recent period emissions were calculated by 10-day periods for surface fire and crown…

In this air quality assessment, aerial photo attributes and an emissions inventory approach were used to estimate smoke production over time for the Deschutes, Grand Ronde, Methow, Pend Oreille, Wenatchee, and Yakima river basins in eastern Oregon and eastern Washington.…
