Until recently, monitoring for emissions from open burning were limited principally to industrial pollutants, as governed by the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Emission factors were determined by relating the quantity of effluent…

Emissions of particulate matter from prescribed fire in Georgia were sampled from an airplane and from various points on the ground. The source strength for the tire was determined, and an average emission factor for particulate matter of 10.3 g…

Particulate matter and aromatic hydrocarbon emissions from the controlled combustion of alpha pinene
Combustion of a forest fuel complex produces a diverse mixture of oxygenated and unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds mixed with aerosols. This study examines the production rates for a number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) precursor compounds produced from the controlled…

This paper is directed to those interested in techniques for measuring emission rates and emission factors for forest fires and other open combustion sources. A source-sampling procedure that involved the use of a vertical array of lightweight,…
