Small-scale Pellet Boiler Emissions – Characterization and Comparison to Other Combustion Units
Residential combustion has been identified as one of the main sources of particulate matter (PM); fine particles are important because of their adverse effects on human health and the environment. In this thesis, fine particle emissions originating from residential pellet combustion were characterized in different operational situations and using different raw materials as pellet fuel. Moreover...
متن کاملParticle-phase concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in ambient air of rural residential areas in southern Germany
An important source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in residential areas, particularly in the winter season, is the burning process when wood is used for domestic heating. The target of this study was to investigate the particle-phase PAH composition of ambient samples in order to assess the influence of wood combustion on air quality in residential areas. PM(10) samples (particulate...
متن کاملOrganic compounds in biomass smoke from residential wood combustion: Emissions characterization at a continental scale
[1] Wood smoke in the atmosphere often accounts for 20–30% of the ambient fineparticle concentrations. In communities where wood is burned for home heating, wood smoke can at times contribute the majority of the atmospheric fine-particle burden. Chemical mass balance receptor models that use organic compounds as tracers can be used to determine the contributions of different emission sources, i...
متن کاملHealth effects of residential wood smoke particles : the importance of combustion conditions and physicochemical particle properties Anette
Background: Residential wood combustion is now recognized as a major particle source in many developed countries, and the number of studies investigating the negative health effects associated with wood smoke exposure is currently increasing. The combustion appliances in use today provide highly variable combustion conditions resulting in large variations in the physicochemical characteristics ...
متن کاملIdentification of significant precursor gases of secondary organic aerosols from residential wood combustion
Organic gases undergoing conversion to form secondary organic aerosol (SOA) during atmospheric aging are largely unidentified, particularly in regions influenced by anthropogenic emissions. SOA dominates the atmospheric organic aerosol burden and this knowledge gap contributes to uncertainties in aerosol effects on climate and human health. Here we characterize primary and aged emissions from r...
