Numbers in parentheses represent one standard deviation
N = devices tested, n = measurement events,
Baseline settings are low wick (1–1.5mm), 1-K USA kerosene, and cloth (cotton) wick
n = 8 (Lab), n = 6 (Field)
Field results represent total suspended particles (TSP)
MAC – mass absorption cross section (530 nm), MSC- mass scattering cross section, SSA – single scattering albedo. MSC and SSA were calculated at 530nm for laboratory tests and 660nm for field tests.
