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…

Emission factors for several trace gases were determined using airborne measurements from 13 biomass fires in North America. Emissions of methane (CH4), nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHC), hydrogen (H2) and ammonia (NH3) were found to be positively…

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…
