Technical Bulletin No. 0400: A Polycyclic Organic Materials Emissions Study for Industrial Wood-Fired Boilers

This material was printed from a report of the same title which was made available for distribution as a technical bulletin by the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, Division of Environmental Management Air Quality Section. The study which was sponsored by the North Carolina Energy Institute and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was initiated to answer one of several questions regarding the soundness of promotion of wood as an energy source in the state. The report deals with a measurement program carried out on small to medium sized wood fired boilers to fill an information gap on the level of polycyclic organic emissions under good everyday operating conditions from this source.
