Comparative Assessment of the Impacts of Prescribed Fire Versus Wildfire (CAIF): A Case Study in the Western United States

The purpose of this report is to provide an initial assessment of the differences in emissions, and air quality and public health impacts of smoke between prescribed fire and wildfire that could be informative to multiple levels of government as they engage and plan for future land and fire management activities. Additionally, the CAIF report contributes to the identification of future research efforts to examine air quality and public health impacts due to smoke from fire.
