Emissions uncontrolled burning

Forest systems also act as sources of CO2 when controlled or uncontrolled burning and decay of litter occur. In addition, release of ethylene occurs during the flowering of various species. One additional form of emission to the atmosphere is the release of pollen grains. Pollen is essential to the reproductive cycle of most forest systems but becomes a human health hazard for individuals susceptible to hay fever. The contribution of sulfur from forests in the form of dimethyl sulfide is considered to be about 10-25% of the total amount released by soils and vegetation (12).

Hydrogen chloride and chlorine gases form when chlorinated organic compounds in hazardous wastes are burned. If uncontrolled, this chlorine can become a human health risk and is a large component in the formation of acid rain. U.S. EPA has developed different requirements to control the emissions of chlorine from the different classes of combustion units. 

Most of the direct releases of PAHs to the environment are to the atmosphere from both natural and anthropogenic, sources, with emissions from human activities predominating. PAHs in the atmosphere are mostly associated with particulate matter however, the compounds are also found in the gaseous phase (NRC 1983 Yang et al. 1991). The primary natural sources of airborne PAHs are forest fires and volcanoes (Baek et al. 1991 NRC 1983). The residential burning of wood is the largest source of atmospheric PAHs (Peters et al. 1991 Ramdahl et al. 1982) releases are primarily the result of inefficient combustion and uncontrolled emissions (Freeman and Cattell 1990 NRC 1983 Tan et al. 1992). Other important stationary anthropogenic sources include industrial power... 

Hospital incineration yields predominantly octachlorodibenzo-/7-dioxin, and the very toxic TCDD amounts to only a few percent of the mixture (Bunce, 1994). More dioxin emission with high TEQ values is connected with open garbage burning that is often practiced in the Asian cities and uncontrolled landfills. 

However, despite all the progress being made, the uncontrolled production unavoidably leads to environmental problems such as climate change or emission of toxic products. For example, dioxins and furans are unintentionally formed and released from various sources like open burning of waste, thermal processes in the metallurgical industry, residential combustion sources, motor vehicles, particularly those burning leaded gasoline, fossil fuel-fired utility and industrial boilers, waste oil refineries etc... 

Fission. The splitting of an atomic nucleus into two fragments that usually releases neutrons and y rays. Eission may occur spontaneously or may be induced by capture of bombarding particles. Primary fission products usually decay by particle emission to radioactive daughter products. The chain reaction that may result in controlled burning of nuclear fuel or in an uncontrolled nuclear weapons explosion results from the release of 2 or 3 neutrons/fission. Neutrons cause additional fissile nuclei in the vicinity to fission, producing still more neutrons, in turn producing still...
