real-time assessment of the health and environmental impacts of fire smoke by developing an advanced drone-based monitoring and sampling platform integrated with mass spectrometry (MS). Focusing on the atmospheric chemistry of both primary emissions and secondary
aerosol formation, the project utilizes state-of-the-art chemical ionization mass spectrometry techniques. Drones equipped with advanced sensors will collect particles during live fire tests to analyze their chemical composition. This data, combined with real-time
measurements, will inform decisions for risk assessments, adjustments to fenced areas, and public information dissemination.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The project is a collaboration with the Swedish Environmental Research Institute (IVL) and Greater Gothenburg Fire and Rescue Service (Räddningstjänsten
Storgöteborg, RSG). The development of the drone and MS platform—including automated procedures for monitoring, sampling, and enhanced data collection and analysis—will take place at the University of Gothenburg (GU) laboratory. Fieldwork for live fire tests
will be carried out in partnership with IVL and RSG. Additionally, the project involves creating a knowledge base and evaluation system for fire events while promoting effective communication and collaboration among project partners, the reference group, and
stakeholders. The work may also include competence development within teaching.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
