Read Full Text: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.est.5c01641 Despite emerging evidence on the health impacts of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from wildland fire smoke, the specific effects of PM2.5 composition on health outcomes remain uncertain. We developed a three-level, chemical transport model-based framework to estimate daily full-coverage concentrations of smoke-derived...
