Goals and objectives outlined in the Clean Air Act of 1977 are in conflict with land management practices that utilize control or prescribed burns to maintain a healthy ecosystem. Specifically, smoke emissions from burn areas can significantly and adversely affect the visual air…

Source strength is defined as the rate of release of an emission into the atmosphere from a specified process. In this paper, source-strength modeling of emissions of particulate matter from prescribed fires is discussed from three perspectives: 1) unit area (per m2), 2) unit…

Forest fires can be divided into two broad classes-wildfires and prescribed fires. Wildfires, whether caused by nature (lightning, etc.) or by the accidental or malicious acts of man, are not planned by forest managers and do not occur under controlled conditions. They can be…
