%0 Journal Article %T Determination of the Emission Factors from Burning Common Domestic Cooking Fuels in Vietnam and its Application for Calculation of their Pollution Load %A Pham Ngoc Ho %A Tran Hong Con %A Dong Kim Loan %A Duong Ngoc Bach %J EnvironmentAsia %D 2013 %I Thai Society of Higher Eduction Institutes on Environment %X The emission factors and the air pollution load of domestic cooking processes in Vietnam were investigated. All the measurement results were given from experiments implemented at equipment imitated common cooking ways of almost households in different areas of Vietnam. The commonly used fuels concerning to the investigation were fuel gas, kerosene, comb coal, fossil coal, firewood, straw and rice stubble. The main parameters emitted from fuel burning processes such as SO2, NOx, CO, TSP and PM10 and related parameters such as temperature, pressure, exhaust gas flow rate were measured by the suitable equipment. Based on the measurement data, emission factors and pollution load were calculated and compared with other data published in the world. %K cooking fuel %K emission factor %K pollution load %U http://www.tshe.org/ea/pdf/vol6%20no1-7.pdf
