The second edition of the AIHA® Technical Guide for Wildfire Impact Assessments for the OEHS Professional presents the current understanding of wildfire combustion processes and the chemical transformations that generate particulates, organic compounds, and metal residues.
The scope is on homes, buildings, and structures that were outside of the burn zone or survived a wildfire or a wildland-urban interface (WUI) fire and can be restored and reoccupied.
The primary purpose of the Technical Guide is to help occupational and environmental health and safety (OEHS) professionals and other investigators design and conduct wildfire impact assessments for exposure evaluations, forensic origin and cause investigations, or both.
