High concentration particulate matter 2.5 released from forest fires, in addition to direct burns and asphyxia, PM₂.₅ is one of the main pollutants which threaten the safety of forest fire fighter. Therefore, to assess spatial distribution of PM₂.₅, a simulation study was conducted. Fuel beds with different moisture contents and loads were constructed. 144 times burning experiments were carried out under different wind speeds by using wind tunnel device. PM₂.₅ particles at different spatial points were collected and calculated. The results show that, in the two of three variables interaction between wind speed, fuel load, and, except fuel moisture content, wind speed and fuel load are positively correlated with the PM₂.₅ concentrations. From PM₂.₅ concentration which collected at each point in the horizontal and vertical directions, the overall trend is that PM₂.₅ concentration increases along the horizontal downwind direction (C and D higer than A and B) and the vertical upward direction (A and C higer than B and D) Based on BP neural network, the spatial distribution model of PM₂.₅ concentration with single hidden layer was established. The prediction accuracy of modeling samples and validation samples is balanced when hidden layer node is 5. This study will help to make reference for PM₂.₅ occupational exposure standards, forest fire smoke management and forest fire management in China.
