Abstract

The relationship between daily total tons of forestry fuel consumed by prescribed burns in western Oregon and 24-hour average total suspended participate (TSP) concentration in the Willamette Valley is examined. The relationship is statistically significant at the 95 % level. A simple physical model is in agreement with the statistical relationships. The effect of western Oregon prescribed burning on mean TSP loadings in rural Willamette Valley over periods of a month or more may be estimated with good confidence with a factor of 2 accuracy.
