Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smoke Emissions From Prescribed Burning of Southern California Chaparral Emission factors derived from the carbon mass-balance procedure describe the mass of emission produced per unit mass of el consumed and are reported in pounds per ton or grams per kilogram. The carbon mass-balance procedure applied to grab and continuous samples and the quantification of the fuel consumption associated with each also has been described by Ward,2 Ward and Hardy and Ward and others Nelson (1982) tested the carbon mass-balance method under laboratory conditions and determined that the difference in fuel consumption with carbon mass-balance and weight loss measurements using a load-cell weighing platform is less than 15 percent. Radke and others (1990) successfully used carbon mass-balance methods with airborne sampling of emissions from prescribed fires. Carbon mass-balance methods have been used extensively and form the primary techniques of quantifying the fuel consumed relative to the emissions produced during this study.
