'In the plume peak concentrations are very high and close to the fire air quality is very poor.'
He said pollution plumes have been detected in the centre of Manchester.
Measurements were showing high concentrations of particulate matter, which the instruments identified as coming from burning plant matter and so the moorland fire was the cause.
'These high levels of particulate are mixing with air that already has very high levels of ozone, formed when pollution is exposed to strong sunlight.
'Both of these pollutants have significant health impacts including leading to breathing difficulties, sore throat and eye irritation,' he warned.URL www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5895225/Heavy-cloud-blots-morning-sun-wildfires-Saddleworth-Moor-rage-FIFTH-day.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 Persons Hugh Coe Title Saddleworth Moor fire: 100 soldiers arrive to help tackle vast blaze 'that will last for weeks' Media name/outlet The Telegraph Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 28/06/18 URL https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/06/28/saddleworth-moor-fire-100-soldiers-help-tackle-vast-blaze-will/ Persons Hugh Coe Title Warning over poor air quality in Greater Manchester due to moor fire Media name/outlet Manchester Eveing News Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 28/06/18 Description Hugh Coe, professor of atmospheric composition at the University of Manchester, added: “High levels of particulate matter are being emitted from the large moorland fire in north Derbyshire and are affecting large areas of Greater Manchester.
