TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of instruments available on the market for measurement of particulate matter, and compare the main instruments and methods of measuring concentration (gravimetric, optical, and microbalance) and size distribution.

TL;DR: CO2 and CO emissions factors seem to be influenced by lignin content, and maximum concentrations of CO2, NOx and PM2.5 were observed in the flaming phase.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main sources of particles were described, as well as relevant concepts associated with particle measurements In addition, articles about particle emissions were classified and described in relation to the sampling environment (open or closed) and type of burned biomass (agricultural, garden, forest, and dung) Based on this analysis, a set of emission factors was presented and discussed Important observations were made about the main emission sources of particulate matter Combustion of compacted biomass resulted in lower particulate emission factors PM25 emissions were predominant in the burning of forest biomass Emission factors were

TL;DR: Information is provided that can be used in the development of the public policies to control emissions and deforestation in the Brazilian Amazonia and shows a trend to increase in Amazon region.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified CO2 and CO emissions of forest fires in Western Amazonia and reported that the overall biomass consumption by fire was 40.0%, 41.2% and 26.2%, in Cruzeiro do Sul, Rio Branco and Candeias do Jamari, respectively.
