☆ Wildfire Smoke Haze From Canada Fires Returns to New York Area
  + stars: | 2023-06-29 | by ( Ed Shanahan | Chris Stanford | Delger Erdenesanaa | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +5 min
An upcoming study from researchers at Stanford University offers a new way to trace far-flung smoke and pollution back to individual wildfires of origin. What’s burning in a wildfire determines what kind of pollution is in the smoke. Dr. Ford and others have studied wildfire smoke patterns, as well as the resulting exposure to particulate matter pollution. But the Stanford researchers have pulled off something new by putting the two together, she said, especially over so many years and so much land area. Aside from that, Dr. Lin thought the Stanford study would be very useful in figuring out the real human toll of wildfire smoke.

☆ The Emerging Science of Tracing Smoke Back to Wildfires

“Historically, we haven’t really been able to study those types of questions at a broad spatial, temporal scale,” Mr. Wen said. It’s clear that wildfires have become more frequent and intense in recent years, fueled in part by climate change’s role in drying out many landscapes. Less clear to scientists has been how smoke from these fires has changed over time. The new study shows that as fires have worsened, so has their smoke: From 2016 to 2020, the U.S. population experienced double the smoke pollution that it did 10 years earlier, from 2006 to 2010. While the study focused on historical data, some of its methods can also be used to predict where smoke from a new fire will travel.
