Smoke
Small, aerosol size particles released into the air as a result of the incomplete combustion of fuels. Smoke is a pollutant by-product of fires from stoves, lamps and fireplaces.
A smoke-free environment is the only way to fully protect nonsmokers from the dangers of secondhand smoke.
Smoke - It is the product of incomplete combustion and consisting mostly of carbon and small liquid and solid particles. Smoke is primarily caused by the burning of wood, coal, gasoline, or other biomass. Smoke particles are usually less than 1.
Smoke: Particles suspended in air after incomplete combustion.

Smoke: The airborne solid and liquid particles and gases that evolve when material undergoes pyrolysis or combustion.
Soil Gases: Gases that enter a building from the surrounding ground (e.g., radon, volatile organics, pesticides).
smoke Particles suspended in an emission of exhaust after incomplete combustion that interferes with light transmission.
SNARL Suggested No Adverse Response Level.
Smoke: A form of air pollution consisting primarily of particulate matter (i.e., particles released by combustion). Other components of smoke include gaseous air pollutants such as hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, and carbon monoxide.
Smoke and fog together create smog.
Smog was a big problem in the winter. Because of the cold weather, more coal was burnt to warm houses and this made more smoke.
A chimney, smokestack, or vertical pipe that discharges used air.

For instance, cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide. When carbon monoxide gets into the body, the carbon monoxide combines with chemicals in the blood and prevents the blood from bringing oxygen to cells, tissues and organs.
For example, one set of data may map the flows of smoke from a factory chimney and, superimposed over a land use map, it would be possible to identify which residential areas would be affected by the smoke.

Prediction by some scientists that smoke and debris rising from massive fires of a nuclear war could block sunlight for weeks or months, cooling the earth's surface and producing climate changes that could, for example, ...
A device that removes particles from a gas stream (smoke) after combustion occurs. The ESP imparts an electrical charge to the particles, causing them to adhere to metal plates inside the precipitator.
The fire below has very poor smoke dispersal and will cause problems with any communities or highways downwind. The fire on the right has excellent smoke dispersal.
Emission: Pollution discharged into the atmosphere from smokestacks, other vents, and surface areas of commercial or industrial facilities; from residential chimneys; and from motor vehicle, locomotive, or aircraft exhausts.

Fire Load: The quantity and type of material within an area or building that would enhance or support a fire.
Particulate - Fine dust or particles (i.e., smoke). 1. Of or relating to minute discrete particles. 2. A particulate substance.
Smog is a mixture of smoke, chemical pollutants and fog (dispersed water droplets). Smog hit many UK cities in the 1950s and early 1960s, killing nearly 5000 elderly people.
