             abstract = "Sugarcane is an important crop for the Brazilian economy and 
                         roughly 50% of its production is used to produce ethanol. However, 
                         the common practice of pre-harvest burning of sugarcane straw 
                         emits particulate material, greenhouse gases, and tropospheric 
                         ozone precursors to the atmosphere. Even with policies to 
                         eliminate the practice of pre-harvest sugarcane burning in the 
                         near future, there is still significant environmental damage. 
                         Thus, the generation of reliable inventories of emissions due to 
                         this activity is crucial in order to assess their environmental 
                         impact. Nevertheless, the official Brazilian emissions inventory 
                         does not presently include the contribution from pre-harvest 
                         sugarcane burning. In this context, this work aims to determine 
                         sugarcane straw burning emission factors for some trace gases and 
                         particulate material smaller than 2.5 {\`{\i}}m in the 
                         laboratory. Excess mixing ratios for CO2, CO, NOX, UHC (unburned 
                         hydrocarbons), and PM2.5 were measured, allowing the estimation of 
                         their respective emission factors. Average estimated values for 
                         emission factors (g kg\−1 of burned dry biomass) were 1,303 
                         ± 218 for CO2, 65 ± 14 for CO, 1.5 ± 0.4 for NOX, 16 ± 6 for UHC, 
                         and 2.6 ± 1.6 for PM2.5. These emission factors can be used to 
                         generate more realistic emission inventories and therefore improve 
                         the results of air quality models.",
