Burning California chaparral - an exploratory study of some common shrubs and their combustion characteristics

Prescribed fire is a tool used to manage vegetation in southern California. The nature and quantity of gaseous and particulate emissions have not been described for California chaparral. A study examining carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and particulate matter…

Quantitative assessment of gaseous and condensed phase emissions from open burning of biomass in a combustion wind tunnel

Agricultural practices and land use modification were estimated to produce 14% and 9%, respectively, of the total greenhouse gas emissions contributing to global warming in the decade preceding 1990 (Marshall, 1989). Carbon release rates from tropical forest conversion have been…

Smoke exposure at prescribed burns - final report

A study of smoke exposure at prescribed fires was done by the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station and Radian Corporation between 1991 and 1994. This study was done to assess exposure to smoke among firefighters at prescribed fires in the Pacific Northwest.…

When logged units burn in a wildfire, does slash treatment mitigate effects?

Major wildfires have affected millions of acres of forest lands in the continental United States during recent years. Often, these wildfires burn through intensively managed, timber producing areas. This study presents a comparison of fuel consumption, soil fire severity, and…

Modeling emissions for prescribed burning

A smoke emissions production model (EPM) was developed by the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest (PNW) Research Station about 10 years ago. Since then, the model has been coded into a computer module and integrated into a variety of other computer programs. The module, EPM,…

Experimental evaluation of biomass burning emissions: nitrogen and carbon containing compounds

Today biomass burning is accepted to be an important source of many trace gases affecting atmospheric chemistry (Crutzen et al., 1979; Cofer et al., 1988a; Radke et al., 1988; Crutzen et al., 1990). Despite its global significance and in contrast to fossil fuel use, where…
