Firefighting training is an essential factor in decreasing the risk of Exposure. Even with a high level of expertise, firefighters are commonly exposed because they are at the front line during [46] and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), while aldehydes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have also...
In addition to planning the resources for firefighting, this introductory survey can be used as a starting point for further research utilizing more advanced statistical methods, including spatial statistical techniques, thus leading to a deep understanding of the mechanisms leading to wildland fires.
