Assessment and quantification of impacts
Environmental impact of fires

The assessment of environmental impacts associated with wildfires is based on a set of standards, analytical methods, and modeling tools. It aims to identify the pollutants released, quantify their transfer across different environmental compartments, and estimate their effects on ecosystems and human health. This approach, which is essential for post-incident management and prevention, is guided by international standards that define general principles, sampling strategies, and the parameters to be analyzed.
