Charred Wood and Agglomerated Soot from a nearby Wooden Dock
Fire
These particles include charred wood and agglomerated soot
particles from a nearby dock fire involving primarily tar soaked rough lumber. This
is from
an environmental tapelift collected in a nearby office. The particle just to the
right of the horizontal 10 micrometer bar is a cenosphere from a
large oil fire boiler and is not part of the fire debris. Its high reflectivity and
angular structure identify it as a chenosphere that was crushed
into the tape adhesive.
