Abstract

Electrostatic precipitators effectively reduce particle mass emissions from residential wood combustion, yet may occasionally elevate nucleation-mode particle number concentrations due to new particle formation.

Fields of Study & Subjects

Aerosol Filtration and Electrostatic Precipitation Atmospheric chemistry and aerosols Plant responses to elevated CO2
