Characterizing Particulate Matter Impacts of Smoke From 2022 to 2023 Agricultural Burning in South Florida. [PDF]
GeohealthAbstract Smoke from agricultural fires is a potentially important source of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the US. Sugarcane is burned in Florida to facilitate the harvesting process, with the majority of these fires occurring in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA), where there is only one regulatory air quality monitor.
