now is a very hot topic in China and the government is taking sustained efforts to resolve this problem. Especially, in Beijing,
restricting vehicles, restriction on constructions, closing low-end factories that contaminate the environment, are several means
to reduce the PM
2.5
generation by all respects. However, PM
2.5
emerges from many sources, including natural and anthropogenic
discharges. One of the main anthropogenic sources is combustion. Fuel burning is a very important source. Many researchers
have deeply studied the formation of PM
2.5
from coal combustion or oil combustions. However, the research on PM
2.5
from other
combustions is a rarity. Hence, several materials were combusted including plastic, wood and glass as the research subjects in the
same operation condition in this study. These three represent three kinds of materials, chemical organic matter, organic biomass and
inorganic matter. Information such as PM
2.5
production and PM
2.5
morphology were collected. The findings suggested that different
wastes would exhibit different PM
2.5
emission potentials in the same combustion operation condition and the morphologies of PM
2.5
from various combustion sources is also identifiable. By weighing the filter mass increase before and after combustion, the PM
2.5
yields could be calculated. Also by using SEM to analyze the PM
2.5
collected on the filter, PM
2.5
morphology is analyzed. Plastic
combustion bears the highest PM
2.5
discharge potential during incomplete burning with tremendous spherical particulates in the
images. Glass bears no PM
2.5
discharge potential for its incombustible properties. While wood would generate PM
2.5
in an irregular
shape with a moderate production.

Biography
Fawei Yan, studied his Masters of Engineering in School of Natural Resources and Environment, Renmin University of China, majoring in Environmental Science from
2014 to 2017. During school time (2010-2017), he participated in many research programs, for example, PM
2.5
Formation, Lignocellulose Degradation (Microorganism),
Waste Combustion, Soil Analysis and so on. Especially, he took part in the research Antibiotics Degradation in Water in University of Nebraska Lincoln, USA for almost
2 months in 2013. Now he work in the Planning and Development Department, Beijing New International Airport. He has his expertise in Environment Research such as
PM
2.5
,waste combustion. His research interests are PM
2.5
Generation and Green Airport.
