Impact of Wildfire Smoke Events on Indoor Air Quality and Evaluation of a Low-cost Filtration Method

Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2021
Increased wildland fire activity is producing extreme fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations impacting millions of people every year, especially in the western United States (US).

Willingness-to-Pay for prescribed fire in the Colorado (USA) Wildland Urban Interface [PDF]

, 2006
During the summer of 2001, survey data were collected from Colorado residents living near public lands (i.e., the wildland urban interface). Data were collected by telephone after mailing respondents a survey.

Smoke signals: Measuring wildlife smoke exposure with animal‐borne and stationary sensors

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 11, Page 3109-3117, November 2026.
Abstract Wildfires are becoming larger, more frequent and more severe, producing smoke plumes that degrade air quality hundreds of kilometres away and for days to weeks after an active fire. Despite public health and safety concerns regarding wildfire smoke, we know little about how free‐ranging wildlife experience or respond to these exposures.

Status update: is smoke on your mind? Using social media to assess smoke exposure [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017
Exposure to wildland fire smoke is associated with negative effects on human health. However, these effects are poorly quantified. Accurately attributing health endpoints to wildland fire smoke requires determining the locations, concentrations, and ...

Areas of high risk for mammalian biodiversity and nature's contributions to people under global warming

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2026.
Climate change has reached unprecedented levels, causing frequent extreme events like droughts and fires. These changes are driving a sharp rise in extinction risk for mammals and threatening key Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) such as clean water, air quality, and climate regulation.

Wildland forest fire smoke: health effects and intervention evaluation, Hoopa, California, 1999 [PDF]

Western Journal of Medicine, 2002
To assess the health effects of exposure to smoke from the fifth largest US wildfire of 1999 and to evaluate whether participation in interventions to reduce smoke exposure prevented adverse lower respiratory tract health effects among residents of the Hoopa Valley National Indian Reservation in northwestern California.Observational study ...

A Data-Fusion Approach to Assessing the Contribution of Wildland Fire Smoke to Fine Particulate Matter in California

Remote Sensing, 2023
The escalating frequency and severity of global wildfires necessitate an in-depth understanding and monitoring of wildfire smoke impacts, specifically its contribution to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). We propose a data-fusion method to study wildfire contribution to PM2.5 using satellite-derived smoke plume indicators and PM2.5 monitoring data.

Accessing the Life in Smoke: A New Application of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to Sample Wildland Fire Bioaerosol Emissions and Their Environment

, 2019
Wildland fire is a major producer of aerosols from combustion of vegetation and soils, but little is known about the abundance and composition of smoke’s biological content.

Germination responses of a dry sclerophyll forest soil-stored seedbank to fire related cues [PDF]

, 2013
Fire is an integral component of many ecosystems worldwide. Many plant species require fire-related cues, primarily heat and smoke, to trigger germination. Despite the importance of this process, the responses of many Australian species to these cues are

Investigating Buoyant Plume Dynamics Induced by Localized Fire‐Simulated Heating Over Plant Canopies Using LES

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Plume interaction with a forest canopy results in flow features distinct from those in grasslands. Here, we model the turbulence dynamics of a buoyant plume in a homogeneous plant canopy with a crosswind using Large‐Eddy Simulations. As the plume interacts with the crosswind, we observe increased vorticity at the windward and tilted hair‐pin ...
