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…

Emissions of some trace gases from biomass fires

Airborne measurements of 13 trace gases from seven forest fires in North America are used to determine their average emission factors. The emission factors are then used to estimate the contributions of biomass…

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…

Airborne monitoring and smoke characterization of prescribed fires on forest lands in western Washington and Oregon

Detailed airborne measurements of smoke plumes from seven prescribed burns of forest biomass residues leftover from timber harvests in Washington and Oregon are described. Measurements of particle size distributions in the plumes at ~3.3 km downwind of the burns showed a…
