ABSTRACT
Several challenges associated with the field sampling of a burn motivated thought toward using a small-scale burn scenario to determine total particulate emissions. A setup was needed that was capable of sampling the entire plume. We anticipated using micro-quartz filters for the sampling operation. The design of the burn chamber needed to provide a mechanism for cooling the burn plume enough that the filter would not be damaged. Additionally, the material being burned needed a ready supply of oxygen to insure complete combustion.
