16. Particle Emissions from District Heating Units Operating on Solid Biofuels
Abstract : With the increasing interest in the use of biofuels for heat and energy generation there is a growing concern about emissions from their combustion. It has been shown that biofuel furnaces emit relatively high quantities of particulate matter in comparison to natural gas and light fuel oil furnaces. READ MORE

17. Particles from biomass combustion -Characteristics and influence of additives
Abstract : AbstractHigh particle concentration in the air is a health risk, and particles from domestic biomass combustion are a significant particle source. In larger boilers, particles are an important element in the build-up of deposits on heat transfer surfaces, causing increased operation and maintenance costs. READ MORE

20. Particle emissions from car brakes : The influence of contact conditions on the pad-to-rotor interface
Abstract : Due to their adverse health effects emissions have been regulated for over three decades. Brake wear particulate matter is the most important non-exhaust source, however current knowledge is mainly limited to observational studies. READ MORE
