Air treatment technologies for shelter-in-place scenarios in response to WUI fires / authors: Nour Elsagan, Masoud Adelzadeh.: NR24-53/2020E-PDF
"This report discusses the health impact of wildfires smoke on communities situated at the interface between wildland and urban areas, and the use of available air treatment technologies to mitigate this hazard. Wildfire smoke concerns are increasing with the increase of wildfires events frequency, which is partially attributed to climate change. Emissions from wildfires are chemically and physically complex and represent a high health hazard. Most of the health hazards from smoke are caused by the microscopic particles that can trigger heart attacks, breathing problems and other health issues"--Executive summary, page iv.
