Pollutant Formation and Health Effects

Abstract

This chapter deals with pollutant formation and the consequential health effects. The major features of pollutants arising from biomass combustion are discussed. These include smoke, Unburned Hydrocarbons (UBH), volatiles, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), other nitrogenous pollutants, sulphur, chlorine compounds and dioxins. Trace metals and particularly the interaction of K–Cl–S chemistry and aerosol emissions are discussed.
