                         an Amazonian forest clearing fire are presented and discussed. The 
                         experiment was conducted in the arc of deforestation, near the 
                         city of Alta Floresta, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The average 
                         carbon content of dry biomass was 48% and the estimated average 
                         moisture content of fresh biomass was 42% on wet weight basis. The 
                         fresh biomass and the amount of carbon on the ground before 
                         burning were estimated as 528 t ha\−1 and 147 t 
                         ha\−1, respectively. The overall biomass consumption for 
                         the experiment was estimated as 23.9%. A series of experiment in 
                         the same region resulted in average efficiency of 40% for areas of 
                         same size and 50% for larger areas. The lower efficiency obtained 
                         in the burn reported here occurred possibly due to rain before the 
                         experiment. Excess mixing ratios were measured for CO2, CO, CH4, 
                         C2C3 aliphatic hydrocarbons, and PM2.5. Excess mixing ratios of 
                         CH4 and C2C3 hydrocarbons were linearly correlated with those of 
                         CO. The average emission factors of CO2, CO, CH4, NMHC, and PM2.5 
                         were 1,599, 111.3, 9.2, 5.6, and 4.8 g kg\−1 of burned dry 
                         biomass, respectively. One hectare of burned forest released about 
                         117,000 kg of CO2, 8100 kg of CO, 675 kg of CH4, 407 kg of NMHC 
                         and 354 kg of PM2.5.",
