An update on particulate emissions from forest fires

Recent estimates of particulate production from forest fires in the United States have ranged from 500,000 to 54,000,000 tons annually. This has been due partly to disparities in estimates of fuel that is consumed during the combustion process, but more to the choice of …

Emission factor development for leaf burning

This report describes the methodology used to develop emission factors for particulates, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons from the burning of street tree leaves. This project was an outgrowth of one carried out for the State of Illinois where…

Some chemical and physical characteristics of emissions from forest fires

This paper is directed to those interested in emissions from forest fires as they may impact on air quality. There are several different types of forest fires, each with distinct sets of emission characteristics. Emission factors for combustion…
