Effect of forest fire emissions on air quality

From Summary and Conclusions: '1. There are several different types of forest fires, each with distinct sets of emission characteristics. Emission factors for combustion products vary widely with fire behavior and fuel conditions. Whenever possible they should be expressed as…

Consideration in use of fire by prescriptions for managing visual resources

'The control aspects of fire management from the hand raked fireline to the maintained firebreak can produce form, line, color & texture contrasts. Just as these contrasts can produce undesirable results, they can be used productively. It should be obvious by now that…

The dependence of open field burning emissions and plume concentrations on meteorology, field conditions and ignition technique

A program of field and laboratory measurements of emissions from the burning of agricultural residues (primarily cereal straw and stubble) and plume behavior is described. Relationships investigated include the dependence of total emissions and plume concentrations on fuel…
