    Keywords : Forest fires; firefighting techniques; Scientometric analysis; Effectiveness; Questionnaire; Direct attack; Indirect attack; Firelines; Prescribed burning; Aerial firefighting; Flanking; Hot-spotting; Cold trailing.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Methods and equipment used for fighting forest fires are different from the ones used in urban fires. Generally, the wildfires are intense, require more resources and tend to spread rapidly. READ MORE

  4. 3. Application of mass defect filtering and statistical analysis for non-target data mining of gas and soot data from a study testing different firefighting methods

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Danielle Ydstål; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Due to the high temperatures during a fire event, a large variety of compounds are formed or released from burning materials, all of which have a varying degree of environmental effects. In an incidental fire there are several variables that are important for which and how much combustion products that are formed, including the burning material, ventilation (presence of air), and temperature.

  6. 5. Uptake of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances by plants

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Laura Gobelius; [2016]
    Keywords : phytoremediation; Arlanda Airport; PFASs; groundwater; soil; plant; AFFF; aqueous fire fighting foams;

    Abstract : The extensive use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) as surfactants in, for example textiles,cookware and aqueous firefighting foams (AFFFs) during the last decades has resulted in widespread environmental contamination. Due to the persistent and bioaccumulative characteristics of PFASs, they are ubiquitously found in the environment, wildlife and humans. READ MORE
