Abstract

Emissions from wood dryers have been of some concern for a number of years, and recent policy changes by the Environmental Protection Agency have placed emphasis upon the gaseous emissions that lead to the formation of particulate matter as small as 2.5 μm diameter. In this qualitative study, camphene, Δ3-carene, limonene, and α-terpinene were thermally degraded in the presence of air to determine the number and kind of oxidative ...
