Characterizing public tolerance of smoke from wildland fires in communities across the United States
Little is known about public tolerance of smoke from wildland fires. By combining data from two household surveys, we sought to determine whether tolerance of smoke from wildland fires varies with its origin or managerial rationale, to describe…
