Emission factor is a relative measure and can be used to estimate emissions from multiple sources of air pollution. For this reason, data from literature on particulate matter emission factors from different types of biomass ...

This study sought to evaluate the effect of form and particle size distribution of formed flocs during flocculation on the removal of particulate matter (PM) by settling. The understanding of the intrinsic processes of ...

This review article presents an overview of instruments available on the market for measurement of particulate matter. The main instruments and methods of measuring concentration (gravimetric, optical, and microbalance) ...

The number of fires in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest has increased in recent years. Particulate matter emitted from these fires can affect different locations, depending on air mass trajectories. Characterization of such ...

In the metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil, ozone and particulate matter (PM) are the air pollutants that pose the greatest threat to air quality, since the PM and the ozone precursors (nitrogen oxides and volatile ...

A mathematical model was applied to describe the removal of particulate matter in a real-scale lawn-lined channel. For this purpose different initial concentrations (Co) of particulate matter were investigated, as follows: ...

In the metropolitan area of Sao Paulo, Brazil, ozone and particulate matter ( PM) are the air pollutants that pose the greatest threat to air quality, since the PM and the ozone precursors ( nitrogen oxides and volatile ...

© 2016 The Authors Emissions from motor vehicles are considered to be one of the main sources of airborne particulate matter in Santiago. International researchers have shown that particulate matter contains metal oxides ...

Particle size distribution from forest biomass combustion is an important parameter as it affects air quality, global climate and human health. There have been several studies that relate emission of 2.5e10 mm particulates ...
