Wildland Fire Smoke in the United States [PDF]

, 2022
This open access book synthesizes current information on wildland fire smoke in the United States, providing a scientific foundation for addressing the production of smoke from wildland fires. This will be increasingly critical as smoke exposure and degraded air quality are expected to increase in extent and severity in a warmer climate. Accurate smoke

Using a Statistical Model to Estimate the Effect of Wildland Fire Smoke on Ground Level PM_2.5 and Asthma in California, USA

Fire, 2023
Forest fire activity has been increasing in California. Satellite imagery data along with ground level measurements of PM2.5 have been previously used to determine the presence and level of smoke.

Long-term exposure to wildland fire smoke PM_2.5 and mortality in the contiguous United States. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023
Abstract Despite the substantial evidence on the health effects of short-term exposure to ambient fine particles (PM 2.5 ), including increasing studies focusing on those from wildland fire smoke, the impacts of long-term wildland fire smoke PM 2.5

Community Vulnerability to Health Impacts of Wildland Fire Smoke Exposure. [PDF]

Environ Sci Technol, 2017
Identifying communities vulnerable to adverse health effects from exposure to wildfire smoke may help prepare responses, increase the resilience to smoke and improve public health outcomes during smoke days. We developed a Community Health-Vulnerability Index (CHVI) based on factors known to increase the risks of health effects from air pollution and ...

Impact of Wildland Fire Smoke PM_2.5 on Birth Weight in California. [PDF]

Environ Sci Technol
The increase in the frequency, duration, and intensity of wildland fires is a significant source of air pollution that can impact perinatal outcomes. This study assessed associations between wildfire fine particulate matter

Advancing the community health vulnerability index for wildland fire smoke exposure. [PDF]

Sci Total Environ
Wildland fire smoke risks are not uniformly distributed across people and places, and the most vulnerable communities are often disproportionately impacted. This study develops a county level community health vulnerability index (CHVI) for the Contiguous United States (CONUS) using three major vulnerability components: adaptive capacity, sensitivity ...

Pathogens on fire: a scoping review of smoke-borne pathogen ecology in the One Health framework [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Wildland fires are increasing in both frequency and severity in many areas globally. Smoke from wildland fires (wildfires and prescribed burns), as well as agricultural burning, releases not only pollutants but also viable microorganisms ...

Wildland fire smoke adds to disproportionate PM_2.5 exposure in the United States. [PDF]

ACS EST Air
Wildland fire (i.e., prescribed fire and wildfire) smoke exposure is an emerging public health threat, in part due to climate change. Previous research has demonstrated disparities in ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure, with Black people, among others, exposed to higher concentrations; yet it remains unclear how wildland fire smoke may ...

Multimodal Wildland Fire Smoke Detection

CoRR, 2022
Research has shown that climate change creates warmer temperatures and drier conditions, leading to longer wildfire seasons and increased wildfire risks in the United States. These factors have in turn led to increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of wildfires in recent years.
