Exploratory Analysis of the Relationship between Wildfire Properties and Air Pollution in China under Sustainable Development

Numerous studies have been done on the effects of weather, human activity, and topography on wildfires, but systematic research into the relationship between wildfire characteristics and air pollution concentration is still lacking, particularly in light of China's site scale and recent comprehensive environmental pollution control. In order to show the wildfire-air pollutant properties interactions between 2019 and 2020, we employed a spatial interpolation technology to create a data sets of wildfire properties and pollutants that are spatially matched across China. Wildfires in China have decreased significantly due to air pollution, with a strong positive correlation between Fire Count (FC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO). However, in the northeastern and northern regions, the correlation is negative. Ozone (O

) impacts Fire Radiative Power (FRF) negatively, except in a few regions. As altitude increases, air pollution concentration affects wildfire properties. Identifying the connection between wildfire and air pollution properties is crucial for effective control.
