TL;DR: The authors used detailed chemical observations from the SEAC4RS aircraft campaign in August and September 2013, interpreted with the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model at 0.3125° horizontal resolution, to understand the factors controlling surface ozone in the Southeast US.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of potential fire emissions across the domain on smoke concentrations in three receptor areas downwind during the 2006 event was calculated using the adjoint of the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model, which allows near real-time assessment of smoke pollution exposure, and therefore the consequent morbidity and premature mortality.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined mortality associated with PM2.5 from only fossil fuel combustion, making use of a recent meta-analysis of newer studies with a wider range of exposure.

TL;DR: An improved representation of NMVOCs in a global 3-D chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) is used and it is shown that it can simulate PAN observations from aircraft campaigns worldwide and is very sensitive to plume chemistry and plume rise.

TL;DR: Results point to the potential health impacts of increasing wildfire activity on large numbers of people in a warming climate and the need to establish or modify US wildfire management and evacuation programs in high-risk regions.
