NATURAL SOURCE OF FIRES IN THE SWAMP
Abstract
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.
