This study is the first to quantify and characterize atmospheric MP deposition in the Eastern United States. Passive sampling was conducted at two locations within the Eastern United States, specifically in remote South Central Appalachia, from March to September 2023. Each location had five sampling periods, with collections over a 21 day period. Samples were processed to remove biological material, and the presence of MPs was confirmed using Raman spectroscopy to match particles based on polymer similarity. The relative average atmospheric MP deposition in South Central Appalachia was determined to be 68 MPs m^-2 d^-1. Most verified MPs were fibers, and the most abundant polymer type identified was poly(ethylene terephthalate) PETE. This study's average MP deposition rate is qualitatively comparable to rates reported in other studies that employed a similar methodology in a similar landscape. Scaling up our measured deposition rate to all of South Central Appalachia, an area of over 94,000 km² and home to five million people, suggests a yearly MP deposition of approximately 321 metric tonnes. Our study highlights the prevalence of MP deposition in the Eastern United States, providing baseline data for future work to further assess routes of MP introduction.</p>","PeriodicalId":100014,"journal":{"name":"ACS ES&T Air","volume":"2 1","pages":"64-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11730859/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143019519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found a slow decrease in VOC mixing ratios over the course of roughly 5 weeks starting 10 days after the fire, and those levels decreased to ∼20% of the initial indoor value on average. The VOC composition could be described by a combination of biomass burning emissions and indoor air composition. Comparisons were made between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) distributions in the gas phase and ash, with differences observed in their distribution between each other and when compared to fresh fuel inventory measurements. Mitigation tests were conducted running air cleaners with activated carbon and opening windows to promote indoor-outdoor air exchange, with both methods showing a decrease greater than 50% for average VOC levels indoors while active.

UFPs generated from occupant activities or infiltrating from the outdoors can be recirculated and accumulate indoors when they are not successfully filtered by an air handling unit. Monitoring UFPs in real occupied environments is vital to understanding these source and mitigation dynamics, but capturing their rapid transience across multiple locations can be challenging due to high-cost instrumentation. This 9-month field measurement campaign pairs four medium-cost diffusion charger sensors with volumetric airflow rates modulated and monitored in a cloud-based building automation system of an open-plan living laboratory office and dedicated air handling unit to evaluate spatiotemporal particle number and surface area concentrations and migration trends. Particle number flux rates reveal that an estimated daily median of 8 × 10¹³ UFPs enter the air handling unit from the outdoors. Switching from a MERV14 to a HEPA filter reduces the number of UFPs supplied to the room by tens of trillions of UFPs daily, increasing the median filtration efficiency from 40% to 96%. These results demonstrate the efficacy of an optimal air handling unit's performance to improve indoor air quality, while highlighting UFP dynamics that are not accounted for in current filtration standards nor in occupant-centered HVAC control. Scalable sensor development can popularize UFP monitoring and allow for future UFP integration within building control and automation platforms. The framework established for this campaign can be used to evaluate particle fluxes considering different analytes.</p>","PeriodicalId":100014,"journal":{"name":"ACS ES&T Air","volume":"2 1","pages":"49-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11730965/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143019560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Smoke composition, aerosol liquid water content, effective density (ρ_eff), and other properties can change significantly as smoke travels through areas under different ambient conditions and over time. During this study, we measured changes in smoke composition and physical properties due to oxidative aging and exposure to humidity. We found that smoke aging led to SOA formation and increases in ratios of organic carbon to elemental carbon. Aerosol liquid water content increased with increasing relative humidity (RH), and aged smoke took up more water than fresh smoke at all humidity levels, likely due to a combination of changes in aerosol surface polarity at low and medium RH and increases in surface area with aging at high RH. Growth factors ranged from 1.06 ± 0.08 for fresh smoke at low RH to 1.32 ± 0.08 for aged smoke at high RH. Oxidative aging and exposure to humidity led to increases in ρ_eff. For 100 nm particles, ρ_eff ranged from ∼1.2 for fresh smoke at low RH to ∼1.6 for aged smoke at high RH.

While the recent application of prescribed fire has largely been confined to the southeastern US, the increase in catastrophic wildfires has accelerated the growth of prescribed fire more broadly. To effectively achieve wildfire risk reduction benefits, which includes reducing the amount of smoke emitted, the area treated by prescribed fire must come into contact with a subsequent wildfire. In this study, we applied timely and consistent geospatially resolved data sets of prescribed fires and wildfires to estimate the rate at which an area treated by prescribed fire encounters a subsequent wildfire. We summarize these encounter rates across time intervals, prescribed fire treatment area, and number of previous prescribed fires and by region. On all U.S. Forest Service lands across the Conterminous US (CONUS) 6.2% of prescribed fire treated area from 2003-2022 encountered a subsequent wildfire in 2004-2023. Encounter rates were highest in western US forests, which tend to be more impacted by wildfire than the eastern US, and lower in the eastern US. Encounter rates increased with treatment area in the southeastern US but were relatively flat in the northwest. For the CONUS, encounter rates increased with longer time intervals, associated with diminished potential for reducing wildfire severity, between prescribed fire and the subsequent wildfire area burned.
