(The Guardian) - Dr Tom Smith is a wildfires scientist. His career has focused on tracking down wildland fires in savannahs and tropical peatlands around the globe, but his latest investigationwas closer to home.
It took place on a weekend in early December. “I noticed the familiar smell of wood smoke inside my flat,” Smith said. “I’m well aware of its harmful health effects from my research, so I went outside with my portable pollution sensor in search of the source.”
