What is it about?
Prescribed biomass burning is an unevaluated emission source of airborne particulate matter in Japan. In this paper we demonstrated the enhancement of particulate inorganic component concentrations during the annual burning events at multiple locations in the western Japan.

Why is it important?
To the best of our knowledge, there is no report focusing on the emissions of airborne substances from the prescribed burning in Japan.
Perspectives
Even though there are many studies touching inorganic component analysis of airborne particulate matter, available or published results are limited. The study here focused on the emission of particulate inorganic components from the prescribed burning in Japan and evaluated, for the first time, the association between the enhanced inorganic ion concentrations, which provide the evidence of their emission from the local biomass burning.
