Summary
This RAPID project will investigate the effects of ongoing wildfires burning across Canada that continue to degrade the air quality in many parts of the U.S., including the Atlanta area. Aerosols emitted by wildfires can travel thousands of miles away from their sources and continue to age along the way, blending in with aerosols emitted in downwind areas. The Atmospheric Science and Chemistry mEasurement NeTwork (ASCENT) site in Atlanta has recently observed increases in organics, black carbon, and potassium at the site that is attributed to Canadian wildfires. Aerosols from wildfires can adv
