Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the results of a project focused on investigating the current practice of slash burning in relation to air pollution. The hypothesis tested was that incomplete combustion and, consequently, greater emissions result from low-temperature fires. Low fire temperatures are usually associated with broadcast burns. Conversely, piled slash, with higher available fuel loading and arranged so that oxygen was not limiting, could be expected to burn more completely and at higher temperatures, producing less pollution. The results of the field tests were to be compared with laboratory burns, with respect to burning characteristics and gaseous and particulate emissions, to determine whether the salient features of a field test can be modeled. The author concludes that slash disposal and minimum pollution may be achieved by a hot fire of sufficient duration to consume the fine fuels under favorable conditions for atmospheric dispersion.
