Factors influencing particulate concentrations resulting from open field burning

A field investigation was initiated in the summer 1978 to quantify the influence of meteorological factors, ignition method, and fuel conditions on the behaviour of smoke plumes from open field burning. Measurements of air quality and meteorological conditions were performed…

Wildland fires, air quality, and smoke management

Emissions from prescribed fire vary geographically. In the Northeast, for example, prescribed fires are rare. In other sections, e.g., the southern Coastal Plain, meteorological conditions, terrain, and light fuel loads minimize atmospheric concentrations of emissions. The…

Convection columns above large experimental fires

The rate of rise of the convection columns above experimental fires depends on the rate of average atmospheric temperature lapse in the lower 1,000 meters. The type of fuels used in these fires will probably produce a mass fire if the burning area is 27 plus or minus 2 hectares…

Emission standards for particulates

Sections 111 and 112 of the Clean Air Act relative to the control of particulates are evaluated. Section 111 provides the promulgation of standards for hazardous pollutants which reflect the best systems of emission reduction. Section 112 defines national emission standards for…

An inventory of particulate emissions from open sources

Open sources are those stationary sources of air pollution too great in extent to be controlled through enclosure or ducting. Open sources of atmospheric particles include: wind erosion, tilling, and prescribed burning of agricultural cropland; surface mining and wind erosion of…

Nitrogen oxides from burning forest fuels examined by thermogravimetry and evolved gas analysis

Twelve forest fuels that varied widely in nitrogen content were burned in a thermogravimetric system, and nitrogen oxide production was analyzed by chemiluminescence. The effects of fuel nitrogen concentration, available oxygen, flow rate, and heating rate on nitrogen oxide…

Soot in urban atmospheres: determination by an optical absorption technique

We have used the high optical absorptivity of urban and source particulates to trace their ‘graphitic” component. The optical absorptivity and the particu late carbon loading show a strong correlation. Analyses of the data indicate that primary soot emissions compose a major…

Firefighters' exposure to carbon monoxide on the Deadline and Outlaw fires

The Missoula Equipment Development Center (MEDC) monitored firefighters' exposure to carbon monoxide on two wildfires in CY 1974. On one fire most of the firefighters were exposed to levels of carbon monoxide (CO) higher than those permitted by the proposed standard that the…

Estimates of gross and net fluxes of carbon between the biosphere and the atmosphere from biomass burning

In order to estimate the production of charcoal and the atmospheric emissions of trace gases volatilized by burning we have estimated the global amounts of biomass which are affected by fires. We have roughly calculated annual gross burning rates ranging between about 5 Pg and 9…
