Abstract

Ambient particulate matter affects local/regional air quality, human health and climate change significantly. The carbonaceous fractions like organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC, sometimes known as black carbon) are of high interest for scientists all over the world. In this section, measured EFs of PM, OC and EC for various solid fuels, and the influences of fuel property and burning conditions were reported. The size distribution of PM, EC/OC ratio in PM and total carbon mass percent in PM were discussed and compared among three fuel types.
