SUMMARY
The multifaceted impacts of fires in peatlands have attracted global attention and concern in recent years. Documenting the nature and effects of combustion products from peatlands has been a particularly active area of work, although detailed analyses of emissions are still needed. Our research includes a focus on the chemical composition and the physical and optical properties of particulate matter emissions from peatland fires. We will present detailed emissions work conducted across a wide range of peatland fuels from boreal, subtropical, and…
