Abstract
Flue gases generated by residential solid fuel combustion sources contain both particulate matter and gaseous pollutants. Their concentrations can be effectively reduced using emission control devices, which have traditionally been applied in small- and large-scale combustion sources. However, in residential combustion sources, such emission control devices remain unimplemented, except for electrostatic precipitators. This mini review provides a coherent summary of the current state of knowledge regarding emission control devices experimentally tested on residential combustion sources. It also outlines the technical and measurement challenges that must be addressed to enable effective, standards-compliant integration into residential combustion sources.
