Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation Less than 1.5% of the Fe in plant matter is aerosolised in the fine fraction during burning.
- Observation An estimated 2% to 9% of the Fe released from biomass burning is attributable to the fine fraction of the foliage itself.
- Observation Less than 50% of the Fe released from biomass burning is attributable to the foliage overall.
