<b>A transdisciplinary approach to investigating relationships between biomass burning and human health outcomes</b><br /><p>Where and when wildfires occur, what pollutants they emit, how the chemistry of smoke changes in the atmosphere, and what impact this air pollution has on human health and well-being are questions explored across different scientific disciplines.</p><p><i>Landscape Fire, Smoke, and Health: Linking Biomass Burning Emissions to Human Well-Being</i> is designed to create a foundational knowledge base allowing interdisciplinary teams to interact more effectively in addressing the impacts of air pollution from biomass burning on human health.</p><p><b>Volume highlights include:</b></p><ul><li>Core concepts, principles, and terminology related to smoke and air quality used in different disciplines</li><li>Observational and modeling tools and approaches in fire science</li><li>Methods to sense, model, and map smoke in the atmosphere</li><li>Impacts of biomass burning smoke on the health and well-being of children and adults</li><li>Perspectives from researchers, modelers, and practitioners</li><li>Case studies from different countries</li><li>Information to support decision-making and policy</li></ul><p><i>The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity.
