Emissions of equivalent carbon dioxide, dioxins and black carbon in the western region of Cuba caused by forest fires
Main Article Content
Abstract
The burning of vegetation introduces changes in the normal composition of the atmosphere, so it is necessary to quantify the emissions due to these. Emissions from open or uncontrolled fires are recognized as a major disruption of biogeochemical cycles, especially greenhouse gas emissions, mainly carbon dioxide and methane that affect the climate. Also, compounds harmful to health and the environment are emitted such as mercury, dioxins, furans and carbon black. The data of burned hectares come from the yearbooks of the National Bureau of Statistics and Information of the western provinces of Cuba, which are considered from the Strait of Yucatan to the Strait of Florida. The recommendations in the Revised Guidelines of the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change considered for equivalent carbon dioxide. For the calculation of dioxins and furans, the UNEP methodology is applied, and in the case of carbon black the North American Guidelines are used.
