Characterization and dark oxidation of the emissions of a pellet stove.

ABSTRACT: Pellet combustion in residential heating stoves has increased globally during the last decade. Despite their high combustion efficiency, the widespread use of pellet stoves is expected to adversely impact air quality. The atmospheric aging of pellet emissions has received even less attention, focusing mainly on daytime conditions, while the degree to which pellet emissions undergo night-time aging as well as the role of relative humidity remain poorly understood. In this study, environmental simulation chamber experiments were performed to characterize the fresh and aged organic aerosol (OA) emitted by a pellet stove. The fresh pellet stove PM₁ (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 1 μm) emissions consisted mainly of OA (93 ± 4%, mean ± standard deviation) a
