Abstract

The modification of climate and the atmosphere by anthropogenically produced emissions is increasingly critical. Trace gas emissions and aerosols from biomass burning represent a significant part of total gas emissions. It is estimated that the total biomass amount consumed annually is 8680 Tg, with a release of 3500 Tg of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). From that amount, roughly 42% comes from savanna fires, 23% from agricultural wastes, 17% from forests and another 18% from wood fuels (Andreae, 1991).....
