Recent attempts to model the flow in very hot fire plumes where radiative transport of heat may significantly modify both the dynamics of the flow and the processes of combustion have met with only partial success. This paper gives an account of a model for the flow in a…

From the text:'Among Forest Service activities, prescribed burning, slash disposal and forest fires present the greatest potential for polluting the air. But at this time we do not know what kind of pollution it is, how dangerous it is, how much of it there is, if it is a…

Most western state laws pertaining to prescribed burning do not specifically deal with range rehabilitation. Prescribed burns require a burning permit issued by the State Forester, or his equivalent, prior to ignition during closed fire seasons. Air quality standards have been…

It is now well established that fire plays an important part as a periodic disturbing influence on many of the forest types of North America. The species composition of such forests has undergone selection as a result of the regularity of fires during their history so that the…

The occurrence of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the combustion products of carbonaceous fuels is a well known phenomenon. Several PAW are known to be carcinogenic in animals. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is the most well-known and studied compound of those classified by the…

The atmospheric input of carbon dioxide from burning wood, in particular from forest fires in boreal and temperate regions resulting from both natural and man-made causes and predominantly from forest fires in tropical regions caused by shifting cultivation, is estimated to be 5…
