Abstract
The physical and chemical processes involved in the production and application of wood smoke are reviewed and discussed. Outlines for rendering the production of smoke a more controllable process as well as for estimating the concentration of individual compounds in the vapour phase, are given. Attention is drawn to the fact that conventional smoke contains not only polynuclear hydrocarbons, but also is contaminated with nitrosocompounds. The need for further basic research indispensable for a better understanding of these processes is urged.
