This is probably one that Tami will know about but all answers are
welcome for this question I received in a personal e-mail:
"I am working on a solar oven project in Senegal and am looking to use
"sticky paper" to measure the amount of carbon emitted by cook stoves
in household's kitchen.
Unfortunately, I only know that reflectology labs can use this paper
to measure the amount of carbon absorbed, do you know more information
about this product? I would really appreciate any information you may
be able to supply."
I have only been aware of this used in a school experiment to see soot
deposition on tree bark. Presumably the reflectology is a means to
give a scientific measure to the number of soot particles picked up
when the sticky tape is used (much in the same way we see detectives
lifting a fingerprint that has been highlighted by dusting onto a
sticky tape on tv fiction shows).
What's the method, clean a horizontal smooth surface, run the stove
and then test with sticky tape?
