LCSC VOC 2020 NW Fire Dataset
Description
Volatile organic compound (VOC) measurements collected via sorbent tubes and analyzed via thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS) in southeastern Washington and northcentral Idaho wildfire smoke. The two fires sampled were Chief Timothy Fire and Whitetail Loop Fire, in August and September 2020, with 20 samples and over 100 VOCs. The goal of observations is to relate VOC levels to human health risk.
