Description

Presents an analysis and comparison of the ambient air quality prior to, during and after the Horse River Wildfire (Fort McMurray) in 2016. The discussed common air pollutants are fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ammonia (NH3), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and carbon monoxide (CO). The focus of the work is to understand the impacts of the Horse River Wildfire on ambient air quality within Fort McMurray and surrounding areas. In addition, the report also provides recommendations for future air monitoring activities during wildfire events.
