The history of the Clean Air Act is reviewed from 1955 to 1980. The 1980 Visibility Regulation is cited as the first federal clean air policy which specifically addresses prescribed burning. Thirty-six states containing National Parks and Wilderness areas are now required to…

From the text... 'An ideal forest fire detection system would detect fires the instant they start, day or night, under any condition of visibility. Additionally, it could distinguish potentially dangerous fires from those that would not concern fire suppression forces. Although…

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…

It is shown that similarity solutions in strong buoyant plumes (plant or axisymmetric) exist if a local characteristic turbulent diffusion coefficient varies inversely proportional to the square of the local gas density in the plume. The similarity formulation implies that the…

The dispersion of the plume from a sulphide smelter at Mount Isa, Australia, has been determined at distances of up to 1000km from the source. Simultaneous measurements by an airborne correlation spectrometer, flame photometer and aitken counter have allowed accurate…

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…

Man began an intensive program to keep fire out of the woods about 70 years ago. Periodic ground fires once common in western pine forests were reduced, and a stand type that had been open, thrifty, and fairly resistant to wildfires lost those characteristics. The current status…
