Abstract: Increased public awareness in recent years regarding environmental pollution has generated concern over the disposal of household, commercial, industrial, animal, and agricultural wastes. In most cases, utilization of these wastes is not feasible because of high recovery costs. The substantial quantities involved often preclude disposal by landfills and their burning contributes to air pollution. One such case is the environmental pollution caused from disposal of grass seed residue by open field burning in Oregon.
