Wildfire Haze - Will rain immediately clear the smoke?
Associate Professor, Chemistry and Environmental Science
Yes, it will. If we could have rain, then the rain would remove the majority of these particles. And in fact, I believe we've been experiencing the smoke for several days, almost a week now. It would go up and decrease. And we’ve had several rains and those rains did really clear out some smoke.
