Data for Oil Burn are from Table IV; data for Open Burning of Tires are from DeMarini et al. [1994]; data for Forced-Draft Stove, Natural-Draft Stove, and Three-Stone Fire are from Mutlu et al. [2016]; data for the two diesel sources are from Mutlu et al. [2015, 2016]; and the remainder are from DeMarini et al. [1992]. All of these data are plotted in Figure 3.
