open burning  

Definición

  • Open burning involves burning any material or substance, including garbage, wastepaper, wood, vegetable material, or other flammable material, in the ambient air or any open premises such as a public street, alley, or other land adjacent to such premises. Burning in a receptacle where emissions are released directly to the air without passing through a chimney or smokestack is also considered a type of this process.
