Project Details

Project Description

A key strategy to protect people from wildfire is the use of planned burns to reduce fire hazards. The exposure of communities to smoke pollution is a serious side-effect intervention. The project will be critical in enablinig authorities to protect public health by determining acceptable levels of smoke originating from planned burns.ALF
