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 ...
