Abstract

In many urban areas residential wood burning is a significant Source of wintertime fine particles and has an important influence on spatial variability of particle concentrations. Although woodsmoke fine particles are usually within the size range thought to be most damaging to human health, their chemical composition is different from those derived from fossil fuel combustion, on which most health-effects Studies have focused. Development of an exposure assessment tool for identification of the spatial distribution of woodsmoke will improve future epidemiological Studies that rely on Such intra-urban variability. For land-use regression (LUR…(more)
