Comparison of emissions and organic fingerprints from combustion of oil and wood
Description
The paper presents data from an Integrated Air Cancer Project (IACP) pilot study on the total carbon, organics, and particulate emissions from oil furnaces with both gun-type and retention head burners. The data are compared to results of a similar IACP study on woodstoves conducted in Boise, Idaho, in the winter of 1986-87. The comparison shows that woodstoves produce a richer stew of organic materials and particulates, but that oil furnaces emit more soot. In addition, the chemical structures of wood and oil are discussed, and GC/MS data are presented showing how these structures result in a characteristic fingerprint when these fuels are burned
