Assuming you're not referring to a plate you're eating off, you're maybe having problems with the hotplate on your stovetop? If smoke is coming from under that, switch off the whole stovetop (the whole oven, if the hotplates are part of the oven) and lift the hotplate. There might be food residue underneath; spilled fat, for example, might not show at a glance but if some is trapped underneath the hotplate it could produce smoke when the hotplate is heated.
If you find food trapped underneath and can clean it thoroughly, do so; this should fix the problem. It must be done before you use the hotplate again, as it could be a fire hazard.
If you find it is clean underneath, or you are unable to clean it yourself, call a technician to look at it. Don't use the hotplate again until it's been inspected and fixed by a qualified technician.
The same procedure applies if your problem is with the plate on a grill or electric barbecue, or something similar. Anything producing smoke in your kitchen needs checking out straight away.
An important point: if the plate in question is not designed to be easily lifted, don't attempt to do so. Call the technician instead.
Alpha radiation is emitted from the amercium button in a smoke detector. When smoke goes into the smoke detector it blocks the stream of alpha particles emitted from the americium. That triggers an alarm.
The purpose of the single beep emitted by a smoke detector is to indicate that the battery is low and needs to be replaced.
particulate matter
The visible smoke emitted from burning wood is called soot or particulate matter. It consists of tiny particles of carbon and other substances that are released into the air during combustion.
it is the plate under the plate (kea nga UNDER plate!!!) hahaha
Any type of smoke, steam or particles denser than air will set off a smoke alarm. This means that smoke emitted from the incense will set off a smoke alarm when in range of the detector.
Exhaled mainstream smoke and sidestream smoke combined is referred to as secondhand smoke. This form of smoke is a mixture of the exhaled smoke from a smoker and the smoke emitted directly from a burning cigarette. Exposure to secondhand smoke can have harmful health effects on non-smokers.
.........Particulate matter........
Gas heating does not produce any "smoke" at all. Wood burning, however, produces smoke which is much more toxic than tobacco secondhand smoke. It is best to completely avoid wood heating.
