Application and evaluation of a low-cost PM sensor and data fusion with CMAQ simulations to quantify the impacts of prescribed burning on air quality in Southwestern Georgia, USA

JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION, 71(7), 815–829.

MeSH headings : Air Pollutants / analysis; Air Pollution / analysis; Environmental Monitoring; Georgia; Humans; Particulate Matter / analysis
TL;DR: The results show that the severe impact of PB on local air quality and public health may be missed due to the dearth of regulatory monitoring sites, and low-cost PM sensors can be used as a supplemental measurement tool and provide useful spatial and temporal information for integration with air quality model simulations.

MeSH headings : Black or African American; Environmental Exposure; Fires; Forests; Georgia; Humans; Particulate Matter / analysis; Particulate Matter / toxicity; Rural Population; Smoke
TL;DR: This project examines the association between percent African American and smoke pollution in the form of prescribed burn-sourced, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the U.S. state of Georgia for 2018 and suspects that neither group is a primary contributor to prescribed burn smoke but rather tend to live proximate to entities, both public and private, that are.
