In order to fulfill the European Union's climate and energy goals, the heating and cooling
sector must cut its use of fossil fuels. Solid biomass can constitute an alternative to fossil …

Residential biomass burning has been pointed out as one of the largest sources of fine
particles in the global troposphere with serious impacts on air quality, climate and human …

This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of historical (1990–2010) global
anthropogenic particulate matter (PM) emissions including the consistent and harmonized …

Arctic haze is a seasonal phenomenon with high concentrations of accumulation-mode
aerosols occurring in the Arctic in winter and early spring. Chemistry transport models and …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and they mostly
stem from the imperfect combustion of fossil fuels and biofuels. PAHs are inherently …

Residential sector has been one key sector for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions due
to its significant contribution to global warming. Researchers in different countries have …

In an extensive wood combustion source test series 2 automatically and 2 manually fired
appliances, and 8 fuel types were investigated with respect to their particulate (PM10) and …

For a common household wood stove and a pellet stove we investigated the dependence of
emission factors for various gaseous and particulate pollutants on burning phase, burning …

This study evaluates the combustion and emission characteristics of a domestic boiler fired
with pellets of pine, industrial wood wastes and peach stones. Initially, the boiler …

The chemical composition of emissions from old-type (an overfire boiler, a boiler with down-
draft combustion) and modern-type (an automatic and a gasification boiler) boilers was …
