Joan Casey, PhD assesses disproportionate exposures among marginalized communities in California from 2006-2020. She covers measures (or lack thereof) of exposure to long-term wildfire PM25 and in an applied example.
Her presentation is motivated by wildfire smoke becoming an omnipresent climate-sensitive exposure. Wildfires have grown in size, severity, and frequency in the US. As a result, they produce large quantities of fine particulate matter (PM25) and stressful disaster exposures in communities.
