An evaluation of the carbon balance technique for estimating emission factors and fuel consumption in forest fires

Eighteen experimental fires were used to compare measured and calculated values for emission factors and fuel consumption to evaluate the carbon balance technique. The technique is based on a model for the emission …

A sampling system for measuring emissions from west coast prescribed fires

This paper discusses a sampling system we developed for measuring emissions production and a set of emissions data for a series of test fires. The sampling system makes it possible to measure emission factors for criteria pollutants, emission…

Emission inventories and air quality management

On April 28-30, 1982, the Midwest Section was host to a Specialty Meeting sponsored by APCA's Committee TP-3, Emission Factors and Inventories. The theme of the meeting was 'Emission Inventories and Air Quality Management'. This overview…

Measurement of smoke from prescribed fires in the pacific northwest: a progress report

This paper provides an update of our sampling program and outlines the technology emerging from the application of these data. During the past year, 90% of the objectives were satisfied for sampling emissions in plumes from prescribed fires at downwind locations by using…

Laboratory measurements of carbonyl sulfide and total sulfur emissions from open burning of forest biomass

The information presented is directed to environmental scientists and resource managers concerned with sulfur emissions from combustion processes. Atmospheric chemists believe these emissions accumulate in the stratosphere and affect the earth's radiation balance. Some of these…
