Performance of Vehicle Add-on Mobile Monitoring System PM measurements during wildland fire episodes.

Fine particulate matter (PM) resulting from wildland fire is a significant public health risk in the United States (U.S.).

Evaluation of two collocated federal equivalent method PM instruments over a wide range of concentrations in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Two widely used PM monitors in the United States (U.S.) designated as federal equivalent methods (FEMs) by the U.

Deliberating Performance Targets: Follow-on workshop discussing PM, NO, CO, and SO air sensor targets.

The use of air sensor technology is increasing worldwide for a variety of applications, however, with significant variability in data quality. The United States Environmental Protection Agency held a workshop in July 2019 to deliberate possible performance targets for air sensors measuring particles with aerodynamic diameters of 10 μm or less (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO). These performance targets were discussed from the perspective of non-regulatory applications and with the sensors operating primarily in a stationary mode in outdoor environments.

Creating Clean Air Spaces During Wildland Fire Smoke Episodes: Web Summit Summary.

Effective strategies to reduce indoor air pollutant concentrations during wildfire smoke events are critically needed. Worldwide, communities in areas prone to wildfires may suffer from annual smoke exposure events lasting from days to weeks. In addition, there are many areas of the world where high pollution events are common and where methods employed to reduce exposure to pollution may have relevance to wildfire smoke pollution episodes and vice versa.
