Key Points

This research aims to analyze the influence of local vegetation fires on equivalent black carbon (eBC) concentrations over seven years.
Conducted long-term measurements of eBC concentrations from 2015 to 2021 at the Capo Granitola Observatory.
Analyzed the frequency of local vegetation fires in relation to eBC levels.
Utilized WMO-GAW standards for data collection and analysis.
Observations indicate a rising trend in vegetation fire frequency from 2015 to 2021.
Significant correlations were found between fire events and peaks in eBC concentrations.
Long-term data provide insights into the regional impacts of vegetation fires on air quality.
