Data for "Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Emissions: Laboratory Measurement of Aerosol and Trace Gas from Combustion of Man-Made Building Materials"

Laboratory burns were conducted to characterize smoke emissions from building materials found at the wildland urban interface. Experiments probed emissions from smoldering and flaming combustion for nine man-made fuels. The data here are the observations from the laboratory experiments and the experimental parameters.
