Characterization and Removal of Condensable Particulate Matter in Flue Gas Studied with Cold Electrode Electrostatic Precipitator by Wenting Liu, Bowen Zhao, Xin Wang, Jianyi Lu

“…Abstract The emissions of filterable particulate matter (FPM) from stationary source flue gases are well-controlled, but condensable particulate matter (CPM) is becoming a growing concern as it’s more challenging to eliminate and poses a more significant environmental threat. Conventional air pollution control devices (APCDs) in coal-fired power plants have limited control over CPM. …”

Emissions and Chemical Components of PM2.5 from Simulated Cooking Conditions Using Traditional Cookstoves and Fuels under a Dilution Tunnel System by Colleen Marciel F. Rosales, Jinsang Jung, Mylene G. Cayetano

“…Abstract Despite the considerable cost associated with estimating household emissions from solid fuel, which are frequently undetected by air quality monitoring systems, compiling such an inventory is critical to identifying the link between indoor pollution and health effects. Therefore, this study used the UP Diliman dilution tunnel system (UPDDTS) to characterize the composition of particulate matter in the smoke and quantify the PM2.5 emitted by traditional Philippine cooking systems, viz., a charcoal-burning cement stove (CCP), a sawdust-burning tin-can stove (KKP), a fuelwood-burning metal-grill stove (MFP), a kerosene-burning metal stove (MKP), and a charcoalburning metal-grill stove (MCC). …”
