This review article presents an overview of instruments available on the market for
measurement of particulate matter. The main instruments and methods of measuring …

Emission factor is a relative measure and can be used to estimate emissions from multiple
sources of air pollution. For this reason, data from literature on particulate matter emission …

Open-burning of rice straw residues pollutes the air and contributes to global warming
through emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Although burning of straw residues emits …

Fire has long served as a tool in agriculture, but the practice's link with economic activity has
made its health consequences difficult to study. Drawing on data from satellite-based fire …

Accumulation of heavy metals in unconsolidated soils can prove toxic to proximal
environments, if measures are not taken to stabilize soils. One way to minimize the toxicity of …

Steam explosion at 180, 190 and 200° C for 15min was applied to sugarcane straw in an
industrial sugar/ethanol reactor (2.5 m3). The pretreated straw was delignificated by sodium …

Peatland fires are one of the major global sources of atmospheric particles. Emission factors
for fine (PM 1 and PM 2.5) and ultrafine (PM 0.1) particles and particle-bound polycyclic …

Sugarcane is the most widely cultivated crop in the world, with equatorial develo** nations
performing most of this agriculture. Burning sugarcane is a common practice to facilitate …

Open burning of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) has a large impact in regional
atmospheric pollution and global climatic change. In this research, pollutant emissions from …

Two different types of typical Brazilian forest biomass were burned in the laboratory in order
to compare their combustion characteristics and pollutant emissions. Approximately 2 kg of …
