| Popis: | The growing use of biomass for cooking and heating raises environmental concerns about atmospheric air pollution from flue gases emitting during its combustion. In this work, the gaseous emissions from two residential wood stoves were examined. Emissions from conventional single-stage and triple-stage combustion logwood stoves were compared using Eucalyptus grandis (EUG) and Pinus elliottii (PIE) woods as fuels. Carbon monoxide emissions were reduced in 102% and 240%, when PIE and EUG wood logs were burned in triple-stage combustion stove. The triple combustion system showed total volatile organic compounds and formaldehyde emissions higher than obtained in conventional system possibly due to the mixture of both gaseous emissions with water vapor releasing during combustion. The results indicated that the utilization of triple combustion stove with some adjustments would be beneficial to local air quality, individual health and reduced global climate change. |
