Environmental Significance of Atmospheric Emission Emission Resulting from In situ Burning of Oiled Salt Marsh

摘要

The environmental significance of atmospheric emissions resulting from in-situ turning used as remediation technique for removal of petroleum hydrocarbons entering Louisiana coastal salt marshes was quantified. Research conducted documented atmospheric pollutants produced and emitted to the atmosphere as the the result of burning of oil contaminated wetlands. Samples collected from the smoke plume contained a variety of gaseous sulfur and carbon compounds. Car- bonyl sulfide and carbon disulfide were the main volatile sulfur compounds.
