A series of experiments is reported on the burning behavior of 3.3 m to 7.4 m tall, Douglas-fir trees with the dry basis moisture content varying from 7 % to 55 %. The results quantified the transient, peak, and total heat release rates (HRR) as well as

Fires occurring at the wildland-urban interface (WUI) can produce smoke that contains unique chemicals from the combustion of urban structures which then can contaminate nearby buildings and affect indoor air quality. Assessing occupational safety or

Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Smoke Yields of Non-Methane Organic Gases from Combustion of Small-Scale Residential Building Surrogates

Michael Link, Nathan Lima, Aika Davis, Ryan Falkenstein-Smith, Rodney Bryant, Thomas Cleary, Dustin Poppendieck
At the wildland-urban interface (WUI) structural fires can generate non-methane organic gases (NMOGs) from burning urban fuels like structural lumber, plastics, and carpet. These NMOGs can contaminate nearby homes and affect indoor air quality. NMOGs have
