Ambient PM10 concentrations from wood combustion e Emission modeling and dispersion calculation for the city area of Augsburg, Germany

Ambient PM10 concentration monitoring as well as dispersion calculations were conducted to determinethe influence of emissions from domestic heating on ambient PM10 concentrations in Augsburg,Germany. Based on the Augsburg emission inventory for domestic heating an average emission factor forparticulate emissions from the combustion of different solid fuels (wood logs, pellets, briquettes) indifferent types of stoves under various combustion conditions was found to be 120 mg MJ1 related toenergy input. Hence an emission model as well as a wind field model were created for dispersioncalculation of the emitted PM from wood combustion within Augsburg. The results of the dispersioncalculation concurred with the ambient PM10 monitoring data measured during the heating period 2007/2008. One result found that in residential areas with a high density of stoves the observed maximumconcentration value of 9 mg m3 from wood combustion was up to 50     «
