Outdoor experiments were conducted on a laboratory scale to study the infrared radiation emission of vegetation flames. Measurements were made in the spectral range 1000-4500 cm -1, using a compact and portable Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer including an HgCdTe/InSb…

Asphalts and wax emulsions have been recommended as protective coatings to help obtain clean, safe burns in slash disposal work. Fuel value determinations in the laboratory indicate that such coatings add little to the fuel value of slash.

To study mechanisms affecting particulate matter production from forest fires, a combustion chamber system was developed. This closed system was used primarily for producing cylindrical laminar diffusion flames by burning alpha-pinene under controlled conditions. The independent…

Although forest burning is prescribed widely across the United States, it is most commonly practiced in the Northwestern and the Southern United States. In 1978, approximately 37 million metric tons of forest fuels on all forest ownerships were burned by prescription;…

Over the past decade, concern over potential global warming has focused attention on the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and there is an active debate concerning the desirability of reducing emissions. At the heart of this debate is the future path of both…

Teams of scientific and policy experts identified and evaluated the technical, economic and implementation aspects of mitigation activities, and identified research and data gaps. Agriculture and forestry mitigation alternatives to reduce or offset GHG emissions are appealing…

A direct proportionality has been found between the smoke extinction area (SEA) for smoke of room linings and the SEA as measured in the cone calorimeter (ISO5660). The room test scenario (ISO9705) considered was the propane ignition burner at the corner with a 100/300 kW…

Smokes produced by burning pine litter, green needles, and fuels of lower nitrogen content were drawn through dilute acid solutions which were then nesslerized in the presence and absence of titanous sulfate. Kjeldahl analyses of fuels and residues indicated that 62% of the…

Smoke produced by vegetation fires consists of a complex mixture of gaseous, liquid, and solid phases. Many particulates are generated during vegetation fires. Crutzen and Andreae (1990) have estimated that global emissions of pyrogenic smoke particles (50-150 Tg yr-l) may…
