Particulate Levels Underneath Landscape Fire Smoke Plumes in the Sydney Region of Australia
Fire, 2023 Smoke pollution from landscape fires is a major health problem, but it is difficult to predict the impact of any particular fire. For example, smoke plumes can be mapped using remote sensing, but we do not know how the smoke is distributed in the air ...

Occupational PAH Exposures during Prescribed Pile Burns [PDF]
The Annals of Occupational Hygiene, 2008 Wildland firefighters are exposed to particulate matter and gases containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), many of which are known carcinogens. Our objective was to evaluate the extent of firefighter exposure to particulate and PAHs during prescribed pile burns of mainly ponderosa pine slash and determine whether these exposures were ...

Where to prescribe burn: the costs and benefits of prescribed burning close to houses [PDF]
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2019 Prescribed burning is used in Australia as a tool to manage fire risk and protect assets. A key challenge is deciding how to arrange the burns to generate the highest benefits to society. Studies have shown that prescribed burning in the wildland–urban interface (WUI) can reduce the risk of house loss due to wildfires, but the costs and benefits of ...

Vegetation structure and fire weather influence variation in burn severity and fuel consumption during peatland wildfires [PDF]
, 2016 Temperate peatland wildfires are of significant environmental concern but information on their environmental effects is lacking. We assessed variation in burn severity and fuel consumption within and between wildfires that burnt British moorlands in 2011
