Acetonitrile (CH3CN) has been widely employed as biomass burning tracer. However, the
current application of CH3CN absolute mixing ratio as the thresholds may misidentify …

Using a novel experimental technique, based on proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry,
from measurements of emissions from laboratory scale biomass burning experiments, we …

A chemical ionisation mass spectrometer (CIMS) was developed for measuring hydrogen
cyanide (HCN) from biomass burning events in Canada using I− reagent ions on board the …

Anthropogenic biomass burning is poorly represented in models due to a lack of
observational data but represents a significant source of short‐lived toxic gases. Guy …

Synchronized online measurements of gas-and particle-phase organics including non-
methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs), oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs) and …

We present carbon isotopic signatures of methanol and acetaldehyde emitted from biomass
burning sources using laboratory experiments. The respective δ13C of methanol and …

Black carbon (BC), the product of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass (called
elemental carbon (EC) in atmospheric sciences), was quantified in 12 different materials by …

This study investigated the sources of black carbon (BC) at two contrasting urban
environments in Helsinki, Finland: residential area and street canyon. The measurement …

Ambient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured intensively using an online gas
chromatography–mass spectrometry/flame ionization detector (GC–MS/FID) at Ziyang in the …

The relative contribution (BCsfb/BCtr ratio) of black carbon (BC) from traffic and solid fuel
burning were evaluated in different microenvironments. We used a mobile platform to …
