aerenkyymiin
Aerenkyymiin is a Finnish term that refers to a phenomenon of spontaneous combustion. It describes the process where organic materials, under certain conditions, ignite without an external heat source. This typically occurs when materials that are easily oxidizable, such as oily rags, compost heaps, or coal piles, are stored in confined spaces with limited ventilation.
The process begins with the slow oxidation of the material, which generates heat. In an environment with
Factors that contribute to aerenkyymiin include the presence of easily oxidizable substances, a high surface area
