Air quality impacts from wildfires have been dramatic in recent years, with millions of people
exposed to elevated and sometimes hazardous fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) …

Each year, the general public and wildland firefighters in the US are exposed to smoke from
wildland fires. As part of an effort to characterize health risks of breathing this smoke, a …

In spite of considerable progresses in recent years, a quantitative and predictive
understanding of atmospheric aerosol sources, chemical composition, transformation …

Biomass burning (BB) is a significant source of atmospheric particles in many parts of the
world. Whereas many studies have demonstrated the importance of BB emissions in central …

Coal mine fires are insidious, persistent, and as widespread as the occurrence of coal itself,
yet their potential adverse human health impacts have been poorly characterised. We aimed …

The deleterious health effects of thoracic fractions seem to be more related to the chemical
composition of the particles than to their mass concentration. The presence of hazardous …

Mean annual biomass burning contributions to the bulk particulate matter (PMX) load were
quantified in a southern-European urban environment (Barcelona, Spain) with special …

Wood from seven species of trees grown in the Portuguese forest (Pinus pinaster,
Eucalyptus globulus, Quercus suber, Acacia longifolia, Quercus faginea, Olea europea and …

This paper complements the information previously published (Atmospheric Environment
45, 641–649) on gaseous and particulate emissions from wildfires in Portugal for summer …

This work characterizes the dimension and the exceptionality of 2017 large-and mega-fires
that occurred in the center region of Portugal through the assessment of their impact on the …
