Emissions form mesoscale in-situ oil (diesel) fires: the mobile 1994 experiments

摘要

A series of three mesoscale burns was conducted in 1994 to study varius aspects of diesel oil burning in-situ.Extensive samplign and monitoring of these burns was cnducte dto determine the emission.This was doen at four downwind ground stations.,one upwidn ground station,and in the smoke plume usin a remote-controlled helicopter.Particulate samples in air were taken and analysed for Polycclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs).PAHs were found to be lower in the soot than in the starting oil,although hiher concentrations of the larger molecular PAHs were found in the soot and resiue.
