REAL TIME WILDFIRE SMOKE MONITORING

Motivation

As the world’s climate becomes hotter and drier, wildfires are increasing in size, duration and severity.  Wildfire smoke can be transported for hundreds or thousands of kilometers in high concentrations.  It contains both “black” carbonaceous material (‘BC’) from high-temperature combustion; and “brown” material (‘BrC’) from smoldering, which contains an enormous range of organic compounds including many toxic and carcinogenic materials.  This dense smoke can create widespread public-health emergencies, apocalyptic scenarios, and poisonous fallout over huge areas.   Additionally, this input of ‘smoke’ to the atmosphere can greatly exceed the inputs from anthropogenic sources, which are now regulated.

APPLICATIONS

Aerosol Magee Scientific instruments are deep underground to monitor diesel exhaust in mines and at the Base Camp of Mt. Everest to measure the regional pollution of remote locations. Our instruments are used at research stations from the Amazon Jungle to the Sahara Desert; from Spitzbergen to the South Pole. Our instruments are installed in agency stations from San Francisco to Shanghai, from Dublin to Delhi, and everywhere in between. They are used for fundamental research, air quality monitoring, environmental engineering, and other applications.
