This leads to substantial emissions of air pollutants, notably fine particles (PM2.5), posing a risk to public health. This study aims to assess the impact of local and regional wildfires on PM2.5 levels in Galicia's main cities and their implications for air quality and public health. Over a decade (2013–2022), PM2.5 data during wildfire seasons were analyzed using statistical methods and Lagrangian tracking to monitor smoke plume evolution. The results reveal a notable increase in PM2.5 concentration during the wildfire season (June–November) in Galicia, surpassing health guidelines during extreme events and posing a significant health risk to the population. Regional wildfire analyses indicate that smoke plumes from Northern Portugal contribute to pollution in Galician cities, influencing the seasonality of heightened PM2.5 levels. During extensive wildfires, elevated PM2.5 concentration values persisted for several days, potentially exacerbating health concerns in Galicia. These findings underscore the urgency of implementing air pollution prevention and management measures in the region, including developing effective alerts for large-scale events and improved wildfire management strategies to mitigate their impact on air quality in Galician cities."}],"quality_controlled":"1","oa":1,"volume":367,"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","scopus_import":"1","ddc":["550"],"date_created":"2024-08-06T05:54:52Z","status":"public","day":"01","publication":"Journal of Environmental Management","_id":"17396","external_id":{"pmid":["39106804"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/","publisher":"Elsevier","author":[{"full_name":"Quishpe-Vásquez, César","first_name":"César","last_name":"Quishpe-Vásquez"},{"last_name":"Oliva","full_name":"Oliva, Patricia","first_name":"Patricia"},{"last_name":"López-Barrera","first_name":"Ellie Anne","full_name":"López-Barrera, Ellie Anne"},{"last_name":"Casallas Garcia","first_name":"Alejandro","id":"92081129-2d75-11ef-a48d-b04dd7a2385a","orcid":"0000-0002-1988-5035","full_name":"Casallas Garcia, Alejandro"}],"file":[{"access_level":"open_access","checksum":"6fa476a4c08aded413844d92336b0e52","creator":"acasalla","success":1,"date_created":"2024-08-09T13:37:23Z","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":1595118,"file_id":"17405","file_name":"Fires_Galicia_SM.pdf","date_updated":"2024-08-09T13:37:23Z","relation":"main_file"},{"date_created":"2024-08-09T13:37:24Z","content_type":"application/pdf","file_id":"17406","file_size":13662676,"relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2024-08-09T13:37:24Z","file_name":"Fires_Galicia.pdf","access_level":"open_access","checksum":"859dcdef9555c383b702cf8cc7da66f2","creator":"acasalla","success":1}],"publication_status":"published","date_published":"2024-09-01T00:00:00Z","has_accepted_license":"1","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","month":"09","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0301-4797"]},"article_number":"122093"}
