The body of information presented in this paper is directed to those interested in assessing emission rates and concentration levels from agriculture burning, and/or those interested in simulation techniques. This paper describes a source-oriented air pollution monitoring program for agricultural burning in Hawaii and presents a simulation technique for estimating field emission rates and ambient pollutant concentration levels. Several samplers were used to obtain a number of independent estimates of field emission rates. Although individual estimates showed considerable variation, the average calculated emission rate was close to that obtained from a burning tower test. The advantage of the simulation approach as compared to burning tower studies is that not only emission rates, but more importantly, ambient pollutant levels can be assessed.
