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…

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…
