This paper reports relationships between emission factor (EFp) and fire intensity for burns in the palmetto-gallberry fuel type where fireline intensities ranged up to 1,750 kw m^-1 . A model that is presented has application in determining the…

Particulate-matter emission factors and Byram's fire-intensity values were computed for experimental backfires in pine-litter and palmetto-gallberry fuels in the Southeast. The combined data for both fuel types were in reasonable agreement with…

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…
