Description and Table of Contents
Description
A transdisciplinary approach to investigating relationships between biomass burning and human health outcomes
Where and when wildfires occur, what pollutants they emit, how the chemistry of smoke changes in the atmosphere, and what impact this air pollution has on human health and well-being are questions explored across different scientific disciplines.
Landscape Fire, Smoke, and Health: Linking Biomass Burning Emissions to Human Well-Being is designed to create a foundational knowledge base allowing interdisciplinary teams to interact more effectively in addressing the impacts of air pollution from biomass burning on human health.
Volume highlights include:
Core concepts, principles, and terminology related to smoke and air quality used in different disciplines
Observational and modeling tools and approaches in fire science
Methods to sense, model, and map smoke in the atmosphere
Impacts of biomass burning smoke on the health and well-being of children and adults
Perspectives from researchers, modelers, and practitioners
Case studies from different countries
Information to support decision-making and policy
The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
