Fuel loading and fuel consumption were measured on four prescribed burns with a natural fuel component. These sites were in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon. Emissions were characterized on three of these sites.
The fuel consumption was typical of a moderately wet…

The emissions from simulated sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) field burns were sampled and analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs and PCDFs). Sugarcane leaves from Hawaii and Florida were burned in a manner simulating the natural physical…
