The large hyperbolic cylinders in the front are not smokestacks, but cooling towers, which emit plain water vapor. --Vuo (talk) 01:07, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

No idea how to revert 3 edits so I will rely on someone else's ability. The latest 3 edits damage the article randomly inserting the name of some jpg file. Looks accidental.

In the section "Measurement of smoke", subsection "optical", the text correctly states that the optical detector can be at different angles with respect to the source. In some cases, more smoke results in less light; in other cases it is the opposite. In the case cited, 90 degrees, more smoke results in more light.

If it is, it should probably be mentioned. If it isn't, it seems to have enough colloid properties to explain why it isn't. Shiggity (talk) 06:09, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The page is essentially a duplicate of the paragraph-length section in this article with the same name. Needforspeed888 (talk) 00:23, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, at the moment they're identical. I think a better option would be to reduce the length of the paragraph there and expand this article over time, but if merging eventually turns out to be a better option we can do that. Alec Gargett (talk) 01:17, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Smoke just isn't about wood smoke and features from other ways of combustion and also including the health effect of those BUT the Health Effects Of Wood Smoke article is basically just wood smoke and its' health effects. I agree with this merge unless there's consensus to do a merge-split into Smoke and Health effects of smoke which could also could be an option, but I guess we should just merge if not.

How could you allow a section made by the source cited to persist for a decade and a half? Some people have probably died because you allowed this nonsense to go unchallenged! Explain to me again why editable information is so great? 2600:1700:6801:C10:71F3:20F7:6AEF:1882 (talk) 06:02, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
