Emission rates from range-top burners—Assessment of measurement methods
Abstract Unvented combustion sources in indoor environments generate emissions that contribute to indoor air pollution. Both the direct and mass-balance methods have been used to measure emission rates from these sources in field houses, test houses and chambers. In particular, emission rates have been obtained for pollutants from kerosene space heaters and from unvented gas appliances such as range-top burners, ovens, dryers and gas space heaters. Most studies have focused on the emission rates of the inorganic air constituents (NO, NO2, CO and a few others). This paper compares the two methods of emission rate measurement, and summarizes the emission rates of NO, NO2 and CO from range-top burners. The emission rates of NO, NO2 and CO from range-top burners are well quantified, but vary widely as a function of the source condition. The experiments described herein found that the two methods provide comparable emission rates. Consequently, in support of the research needed to establish the distribution of emission rates from range-top burners in the U.S. housing stock, the method to be employed should be the one that provides the required information cost effectively.
