Notes 
Sampling MethodsSampling within the chimney (over a bbq) with an aluminium 'frame' to facilitate cooling (40C). On this frame Piteau pipes were inserted and the exhaust was pumped trough transparens silicon pipes by a pneumatic circuit connected with a low-volume pump. Measurement were made with a flow of 20 ± 5 l/min and an exposition time of 10-20 minutes.
