Wildfire occurrences have experienced a notable surge over the past few decades over the North America. The increasing emissions from wildfires over the western US offset the air quality improvement from decades of anthropogenic emission controls under the Clean Air Act. Over the Eastern US, while the impacts of wildfires are generally minor, the Canadian wildfire smoke in June 2023 led to unprecedented PM2.5 pollution across the eastern US. The goal of this project is to use state-of-science air quality models to study how wildfires influence U.S. air quality, and quantify population exposure to wildfire-related air pollution.
