The particulates released in urban fires differ from those generated by forest fires. In urban fires, particulates come from the vast array of manmade materials found in the built environment.

The size of particulates smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter allows those particulates to remain airborne for long periods, to penetrate buildings, to be inhaled easily and to reach and ...

Smoke permeates everything and impacts everyone. The visible stew of carbon and particulates typically from emission sources travels in the air, shrouds buildings, suffocates birds, and penetrates ...

Summary data on small particulates — those smaller than 2.5 micrometers in size — showed slightly higher averages near poultry operations, though not much higher than in the city.

Another Action Day Alert for particulates is in effect for the Front Range. That means smoke and haze will continue to impact your health and the relief we may see won't be long term.

Incineration, with myriad toxic effects, is a 1980s solution to a 21st-century problem. Officials should embrace a zero-waste solution through recycling and composting.

Even heavier particulates, including ash and dark soot, may accumulate in the HVAC duct-work, on top of the furnaces, inside compressors, and around coils.

Particulates make us ill, and particulates affect the climate. The direct combustion of wood and other fuels is only partially responsible for producing fine particulates – the rest evolve from ...

Administration of an injectable product that contains particulates can result in local adverse reactions (eg, irritation, swelling) and potentially serious systemic events (eg, stroke, death).

Summer temperatures and smoky skies are anticipated to converge over Greater Victoria midweek, intensifying early Wednesday (July 16) morning. Particles are expected to flow over over Vancouver Island ...

However, many of the particulates generated in urban fires are outside of its scope. That’s the disconnect – and the ongoing health risks – that your husband is referencing.
