The endurance of fog oil (FO) as a choice training smoke is credited to its advantageous characteristics, which lead to optimum obscuration of troops and mechanized equipment as well as its cost efficiency, safety, and ease of handling. Fog oil's popularity, however, has been impacted by environmental regulation of smoke aerosol emissions under the Clear Air Act (CAA). Potential violation of the CAA by use of FO has lead to a request for further understanding of technical data describing the characteristics and behavior of FO droplets/particles and plumes. Selected sources of Army-funded research have been reviewed and summarized in this report. |
