ResumoResidential wood combustion has been shown to be a very important source to air pollution including particles, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and mutagenic compounds. The resulting levels measured were considerably higher than what would have been expected in a small town like Elverum with few other pollution sources. Radiocarbon information in addition to chemical analysis and biological characterization has shown to be an extremely valuable technique for quantitative assessment of RWC pollution sources. On the average wood carbon contributed 65% to the carbon in ambient fine particles in Elverum.
