The experiment was conducted in the arc of deforestation, near the city of Alta Floresta, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The average carbon content of dry biomass was 48% and the estimated average moisture content of fresh biomass was 42% on wet weight basis. The fresh biomass and the amount of carbon on the ground before burning were estimated as 528 t ha−1 and 147 t ha−1, respectively. The overall biomass consumption for the experiment was estimated as 23.9%. A series of experiment in the same region resulted in average efficiency of 40% for areas of same size and 50% for larger areas. The lower efficiency obtained in the burn reported here occurred possibly due to rain before the experiment. Excess mixing ratios were measured for CO2, CO, CH4, C2C3 aliphatic hydrocarbons, and PM2.5. Excess mixing ratios of CH4 and C2C3 hydrocarbons were linearly correlated with those of CO. The average emission factors of CO2, CO, CH4, NMHC, and PM2.5 were 1,599, 111.3, 9.2, 5.6, and 4.8 g kg−1 of burned dry biomass, respectively. One hectare of burned forest released about 117,000 kg of CO2, 8100 kg of CO, 675 kg of CH4, 407 kg of NMHC and 354 kg of PM2.5. %8 jan. %N 2 %T Biomass consumption and CO2, CO and main hydrocarbon gas emissions in an Amazonian forest clearing fire %@electronicmailaddress turibio@lcp.inpe.br %@electronicmailaddress joao@lcp.inpe.br %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress ralf.gielow@cptec.inpe.br %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress jcarlos@lcp.inpe.br %@secondarytype PRE PI %K biomass consumption, Gas emission, Amazonian forest fires, TRACE GASES, COMBUSTION, CARBON. %@visibility shown %@group LCP-CTE-INPE-MCT-BR %@group LCP-CTE-INPE-MCT-BR %@group %@group %@group DMD-CPT-INPE-MCT-BR %@group %@group %@group %@group LCP-CTE-INPE-MCT-BR %@e-mailaddress ralf.gielow@cptec.inpe.br %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %@secondarymark A2_ECOLOGIA_E_MEIO_AMBIENTE A1_ENGENHARIAS_I A2_ENGENHARIAS_II A1_ENGENHARIAS_III A2_GEOCIÊNCIAS A1_INTERDISCIPLINAR A2_MATEMÁTICA_/_PROBABILIDADE_E_ESTATÍSTICA A2_MEDICINA_II B1_QUÍMICA A1_SAÚDE_COLETIVA %F lattes: 5059412040519915 5 SoaresnetoCVAGLCYS:2009:BiCoCO %@issn 1352-2310 %2 dpi.inpe.br/plutao@80/2009/07.13.14.39.43 %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica, Universidade de Brasília - UnB, Brasília %@affiliation Pacific Wildland Fires Sciences Laboratory, College of Forest Resources, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Fire Sciences Laboratory, USDA Forest Service, Missoula, Montana, USA %@affiliation Department of Chemistry, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana, USA %@affiliation Department of Chemistry, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana, USA %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %B Atmospheric Environment %P 438-446 %4 dpi.inpe.br/plutao@80/2009/07.13.14.39 %D 2009 %V 43 %@doi 10.1016/j.atmosenv.2008.07.063 %A Soares Neto, T.
