Smoke emissions from wildland fires

Biomass burning is a major source of emissions to the atmosphere. Some of these emissions may change global climate. This paper uses combustion efficiency as an independent variable for predicting emission factors for, among others, carbon…

Projections of emissions from burning of biomass for use in studies of global climate and atmospheric chemistry

Emissions of trace gases and particulate matter from burning of biomass are generally factored into global climate models. Models for improving the estimates of the global annual release of emissions from biomass fires are presented. Estimates of total biomass consumed on a…

Burning California chaparral - an exploratory study of some common shrubs and their combustion characteristics

Prescribed fire is a tool used to manage vegetation in southern California. The nature and quantity of gaseous and particulate emissions have not been described for California chaparral. A study examining carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and particulate matter…

Field characterization of smoke emissions from biomass fires using computer-controlled measurement techniques

Because of the importance of emissions from fires in biomass fuels globally, we developed a highly portable Fire Atmosphere Sampling System (FASS) for sampling smoke emissions. Emissions were sampled with the FASS packages from a variety of fuel and combustion conditions in…

Quantitative assessment of gaseous and condensed phase emissions from open burning of biomass in a combustion wind tunnel

Agricultural practices and land use modification were estimated to produce 14% and 9%, respectively, of the total greenhouse gas emissions contributing to global warming in the decade preceding 1990 (Marshall, 1989). Carbon release rates from tropical forest conversion have been…
