I guess one would call it a "palling."

Isn't it amusing that when byproducts of combustion have an industrial source the mediots call it "air pollution," but when it comes from fire they call it "smoke." Makes one wonder why if the ban prescribed fire on the grounds of "clean air" is intended to produce sufficient fuels to burn out the homeowners.

This is not a merely whimsical observation. Backyard burning and prescribed fire are proposed to be banned upon precisely such grounds in Sierra Nevada counties that are already in attainment for air quality.
