Study Site: Canadian Boreal
Purpose: Although boreal wildfires are a major global source of trace gases, their emissions remain poorly characterized. To address this gap, controlled burns of Canadian Boreal surface and ground fuels were conducted during the Biomass Burning Canada (BBCan) Campaign. Emission factors (EF) for 46 volatile organic compounds (VOC) were determined using iodide chemical ionization mass spectrometry (I-CIMS) and Vocus proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (Vocus PTR-MS).
Abstract: This dataset provides replicated emission factors for gaseous species measured during controlled biomass burning experiments using iodide chemical ionization mass spectrometry (I-CIMS) and proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (Vocus PTR-MS). Emission factors are reported for the entire burning period at the individual burn level for Canadian boreal forest fuels, including Ponderosa pine (wet), mulch (dry and wet), grass (dry), peat with surface moss (dry and wet), peat with surface mulch (dry and wet), and surface material (dry). Emission factors are calculated as the mass of gaseous species emitted per unit mass of fuel burned and include a wide range of trace gases.
