Abstract:In July and August 2021, wildfire smoke transported from
Northwestern
Ontario and Manitoba impacted the air quality in Montréal,
Québec, Canada. To investigate the impact of the wildfire smoke
on PM10 composition in an urban environment, samples were
collected and analyzed for organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC),
elements, water-soluble ions, sugars, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) during contrasting periods of biomass burning and nonbiomass
burning-influenced conditions. Biomass burning t… Show more
