1 Introduction Wildfires, or uncontrolled forest fires, in California resulting from long, dry summers are becoming annual events initiated by both natural and human activities. Between 2007 and 2016, there were 2,434 to 3,672 fires annually, burning anywhere from 25,438 to 434,667 acres (Pimlott et al., 2016). Increasingly, more people are now living in high‐risk areas, where fires can claim lives, destroy homes and properties, and impact the climate.
PM , or fine particulate matter, is a category of air pollutant consisting of particles with effective aerodynamic diameter equal to or less than 2.5 μm. These particles have been linked to human health impacts as well as regional haze, visibility, and climate change issues. Due to cost and space restrictions, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency monitoring network remains spatially sparse.
