Particulate matter emissions for fires in the palmetto-gallberry fuel type

Fire management specialists in the southeastern United States needing guides for predicting or assessing particulate matter emission factors, emission rates, and heat release rate can use the models presented in this paper for making these…

Source-strength modeling of particulate matter emissions from forest fires

Source strength is defined as the rate of release of an emission into the atmosphere from a specified process. In this paper, source-strength modeling of emissions of particulate matter from prescribed fires is discussed from three perspectives: 1) unit area (per m2), 2) unit…
