Data Compilation Supporting the Development of gas signatures of smouldering peat wildfire from emission factors

This is the dataset of emission factors used for the paper "Development of gas signatures of smouldering peat wildfires from emission factors" published in 2022 in Journal of the International Association of Wildland Fire.

Smouldering peat fires are responsible for regional haze episodes and cause environmental, social and health crisis. Owing to the unique burning characteristics of smouldering peat, identifying and detecting this kind of fire from flaming and among all wildfire fuels remain a challenge. This work explores and develops smouldering peat gas signatures using emission factor (EF) data from the literature. Systematic comparisons and statistical analyses were carried out to investigate the difference and statistical significance of 28 forms of EF combinations created from the 4 most abundant gas species (CO2, CO, CH4 and NH3) from smouldering peat, flaming savanna and grassland, agricultural residue and forest fires.
