NATURAL SOURCE OF FIRES IN THE SWAMP

Abstract

Forest fires have been accompanying mankind
throughout its history. They cause extensive damage to natural
areas, settlements and cities. The reasons of forest fires
are various: one of them is the spontaneous combustion of
marsh gas, which mostly consists of methane and other flammable
compounds. An experiment was conducted to evaluate
a possible fire hazard of Shatura swamps. The samples
of marsh gas were analyzed with a Kristallyuks-4000 M gas
chromatograph.
