Emission reduction has become an essential part of the effort to reduce air pollution from forest slash burning. The State of Washington has set a goal of reducing emissions by 35 percent by 1990, leaving the choice of emission reduction techniques to forest managers. Several…

To sum up, policy, strategy, personnel and equipment employed to suppress forest and range fires has changed dramatically over the past 70-year history of the Forest Service. Most of this change has come during the past 25 years, with the establishment of research laboratories…

Form the summary:'Slash burning forms carcinogenic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAHs) which are apparently released into the atmoshphere via smoke and into aquatic networks via runoff. Dioxins and other chlorinated compounds may be similiarly released if the slash has…

Thermogravimetry (TG) was applied to forest fuel as a microcombustion technique to study emissions by evolved gas analysis (EGA). Emission rates for carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and total hydrocarbons (THC) for both combustion and pyrolysis processes were…

Absorption properties of smokes from laboratory fires that represent prescription hums in the Southern states have been quantified to relate variations in measured absorption parameters to variation in fire conditions and to estimate emission factors for elemental carbon.…
