Researchers parameterize volatile organic compounds emitted from real-world western US wildfires. (IMAGE)
Caption
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from wildfires can severely deteriorate air quality and jeopardize human and environmental health. Researchers now show that these wildfire VOCs can be accurately quantified and characterized using the knowledge of the pyrolysis process and temperature in the wildfires, along with satellite-derived fire radiative power measurements, independent of the burning plant type.
