Emissions of some trace gases from biomass fires

Airborne measurements of thirteen 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…

Emissions from prescribed burning of chaparral

This paper describes emission factors for several gaseous and particulate matter emissions from burning chaparral fuels found primarily in the southwestern United States. Measurements of the smoke were taken for flaming and smoldering combustion…

An inventory of particulate matter and air toxic emissions from prescribed fires in the United States for 1989: final report

In the United States, prescribed burning of wildlands is practiced on over 2 million hectares of land each year. Based on our survey conducted in 1989, approximately 70, 20, and 10% of this burning occurs in the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, and Rocky Mountain regions,…

Carbonaceous aerosols from different tropical biomass burning sources

Following a repetitive pattern, biomass burning affects the intertropical belt on a continental scale during the dry season1. The importance of these anthropogenic activities with regard to carbonaceous-component emissions into the global atmosphere is now well recognized2-4. It…
