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 disciplinesObservational and modeling tools and approaches in fire scienceMethods to sense, model, and map smoke in the atmosphereImpacts of biomass burning smoke on the health and well-being of children and adultsPerspectives from researchers, modelers, and practitionersCase studies from different countriesInformation 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.
