Evidence of Smoke From Wildland Fire in Surface Water of an Unburned Watershed
Water Resources Research, 2021AbstractLarge wildland fires generate smoke that can compromise air quality over a wide area. Limited studies have suggested that smoke constituents may enter natural water bodies. In an 18‐year water monitoring study, we examined whether smoke from distant wildland fires had a detectable effect on ion content in a mountain river in an unburned ...

Particle size-dependent radical generation from wildland fire smoke
Toxicology, 2007Firefighting, along with construction, mining and agriculture, ranks among the most dangerous occupations. In addition, the work environment of firefighters is unlike that of any other occupation, not only because of the obvious physical hazards but also due to the respiratory and systemic health hazards of smoke inhalation resulting from combustion. A

The Effect of Smoke Inhalation on Lung Function and Airway Responsiveness in Wildland Fire Fighters
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1992Abstract The current study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of smoke on forced expiratory volumes and airway responsiveness in wildland fire fighters during a season of active fire fighting. Sixty-three seasonal and full-time wildland fire fighters from five U.S.

An Interactive Data-Driven HPC System for Forecasting Weather, Wildland Fire, and Smoke
2019 IEEE/ACM HPC for Urgent Decision Making (UrgentHPC), 2019We present an interactive HPC framework for coupled fire and weather simulations. The system is suitable for urgent simulations and forecast of wildfire propagation and smoke. It does not require expert knowledge to set up and run the forecasts. The core of the system is a coupled weather, wildland fire, fuel moisture, and smoke model, running in an ...

Wildland Fire Smoke and Emissions Tradeoff Decision Support
In 2023, 6,551 wildfires across Canada burned 184,961 km2 of the landscape—about 5% of Canadian forests—emitting nearly 480 megatonnes of carbon, with emissions leading to air quality warnings as far away as Washington DC, USA. In early June, the air quality index in New York City was over 400, and by mid-June, smoke plumes passed ...Laurel Sindewald +5 more

Contribution of Wildland-Fire Smoke to US PM2.5 and Its Influence on Recent Trends
Environmental Science & Technology, 2019Seasonal-mean concentrations of particulate matter with diameters smaller than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) have been decreasing across the United States (US) for several decades, with large reductions in spring and summer in the eastern US. In contrast, summertime-mean PM2.5 in the western US has not significantly decreased.

High-Resolution Numerical Models for Smoke Transport in Plumes from Wildland Fires
2013A high-resolution large-eddy simulation (LES) model is employed to examine the fundamental structure and dynamics of buoyant plumes arising from heat sources representative of wildland fires. Herein we describe several aspects of the mean properties of the simulated plumes.

Toolkit for Planning and Managing Prescribed and Wildland Fire Smoke on Military Installations
2014Abstract : Natural resource managers have identified smoke management tools for wildfires and prescribed fire as a critical need in minimizing the negative impacts from smoke. Smoke impacts are often in the form of high concentration, short duration events that can significantly impact military operations, human health, and state and national air ...
