Study of Air Toxics Released from the Pre- Harvest Burning of ...

Methodology: Chamber Design
A combustion chamber used to simulate
field burning.
Stack sampling methods used.
Stack velocity and chamber flowrate was
determined following EPA Method 2.
– Pressure drop and temperature were measured
with a s-type pitot tube and thermocouple across
a horizontal traverse.
CO and CO 2
flue gases were continuously
monitored to determine the combustion
efficiency
