Fire Heat Transfer

Introduction

The consequences of forest fires are the atmospheric emissions of various environmentally significant gases and solid particulates that contribute to local, regional and global phenomena in the biosphere. Pollutants emitted include atmospheric particulate matter (I1) and gaseous compounds, such as carbon dioxide (C02), carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4), non methane hydrocarbons (NMHC), nitrogen oxides, (NO), and nitrous oxide (N20). Smoke pollution due to forest fire events can represent an important public health issue to the community, particularly for personnel involved in firefighting operations. In addition, high levels of troposphere ozone can occur at great ...
