Comparing particulate morphology generated from human- made cellulosic fuels to natural vegetative fuels
Year: 2022
Background. In wildland–urban interface (WUI) fires, particulates from the combustion of both natural vegetative fuels and engineered cellulosic fuels may have deleterious effects on the environ- ment. Aims. The research was conducted to investigate the morphology of the particulate samples generated from the combustion of oriented strand board (OSB). Findings were compared to the particulate samples collected from the combustion of noble-fir branches. Methods. The exposure conditions were varied to induce either smouldering combustion or flaming combustion of the specimens. Particulate…
