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 predictions as a function of flame length in the palmetto-gallberry fuel type. FOREST So. 29:761-770. ADDITIONAL

Large amounts of solid waste are disposed in landfills and the potential of particulate matter (PM) emissions into the atmosphere is significant. Particulate matter emissions in landfills are the result of resuspension from the disposed waste and other activities such as mechanical recycling and composting, waste unloading and sorting, the process of coating residues and waste transport by truc...

The objective of this paper is to summarize the available literature on the concentrations and emissions of odor, ammonia, nitrous oxide, hydrogen sulfide, methane, non-methane volatile organic carbon, dust, and microbial and endotoxin aerosols from livestock and poultry buildings and manure management systems (storage and treatment units). Animal production operations are a source of numerous ...

This paper presents a sensitivity analysis and an evaluation of the semi-empirical model known as Operational Street Pollution Model (OSPM). The model is capable of calculating airborne concentrations of exhaust gases emitted by vehicles, within a street canyon. OSPM has been extensively evaluated using data collected over a two year period (1994-1995), during a monitoring campaign carried out ...

The v=0{0 S(1) line of molecular hydrogen at 17.03 m has been measured in the source OMC{1 along a 90 00 cut passing through the near{IR H 2 emission Peaks 1 and 2 using the Kuiper Airborne Observatory. The line ux is typically 50% of the 2.12 m v=1{ 0 S(1) line, but its distribution is somewhat more extended and it is relatively brighter at Peak 2. We interpret this as shocked emission coming ...

Marine stratocumulus clouds often become decoupled from the vertical layer immediately above the ocean surface. This study contrasts cloud chemical composition between coupled and decoupled marine stratocumulus clouds for dissolved nonwater substances. Cloud water and droplet residual particle composition were measured in clouds off the California coast during three airborne experiments in July...

The speed and direction of winds over the ocean can be determined by polarimetric radiometers. This has been established by theoretical work and demonstrated experimentally using airborne radiometers carrying out circle flights and thus measuring the full 360 azimuthal response from the sea surface. An airborne experiment, with the aim of measuring wind direction over the ocean using an imaging...

Fifteen documents are incorporated by reference in the airborne toxic control measure to reduce formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products. Section 93120.10 lists the fifteen documents which are incorporated by reference. Due to the length and volume of these documents, publishing them in the California Code of Regulations would be cumbersome, unduly expensive and otherwise impractical...

Environmental degradation is widespread in Northeast Asia, particularly atmospheric pollution. Enhanced electricity grid interconnections in Northeast Asia offer two distinct kinds of benefits: (a) the spatial separation of generating source and point of electricity use, and (b) the substitution of cleaner fuels for coal. The first of these factors offers real potential. In most of the region, ...

This paper proposes a method for estimating emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and particulate matter (PM) from ships using Automatic Identification System (AIS) data. The method can be summarized in three steps : 1) capture of AIS data, 2) estimation of ships resistance, propulsion power, engine power and fuel consumption, 3) estimation of CO2 and PM emissions based on fuel consumption. The met...
