Air quality impacts from wildfires have been dramatic in recent years, with millions of people
exposed to elevated and sometimes hazardous fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) …

Each year, the general public and wildland firefighters in the US are exposed to smoke from
wildland fires. As part of an effort to characterize health risks of breathing this smoke, a …

The sentiment that woodsmoke, being a natural substance, must be benign to humans is still
sometimes heard. It is now well established, however, that wood-burning stoves and …

Abstract The Tubbs Fire (2017) and Camp Fire (2018) are the first known wildfires where
widespread drinking water chemical contamination was discovered in the water distribution …

As the key for haze control, atmospheric fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter<
2.5 μm (or PM 2.5) is of great concern lately in China. It is closely linked to fast pace of …

Biomass burning (BB) is a major global source of trace gases and particles. Accurately
representing the production and evolution of these emissions is an important goal for …

Field measurements were conducted to determine particulate emissions and trace gas
emissions, including CO2, CO, CH4, NMHCs, NO x, NH3, N2O, and SO2, from open burning …

Atmospheric levoglucosan has been determined as a proxy for “biomass smoke” in samples
from six background stations on a west–east transect extending from the Atlantic (Azores) to …

Wildland fires are major sources of trace gases and aerosol, and these emissions are
believed to significantly influence the chemical composition of the atmosphere and the …

The emission of organic aerosols (OA) in the ambient air by residential wood burning is
nowadays a subject of great scientific concern and a growing number of studies aim at …
