Biomass burning (BB) is a significant air pollution source, with global, regional and local
impacts on air quality, public health and climate. Worldwide an extensive range of studies …

Organic carbon (OC) accounts for a large fraction of atmospheric aerosol and has profound
effects on air quality, atmospheric chemistry, and climate forcing. The molecular composition …

Emitted by numerous primary sources and formed by secondary sources, atmospheric
brown carbon (BrC) aerosol is chemically complex. As BrC aerosol ages in the atmosphere …

Multiphase chemistry plays a vital role in the Earth system, climate, and health. Chemical
reactions, mass transport, and phase transitions between gases, liquids, and solids are …

Equivalent black carbon (EBC) measured by a multi-wavelength Aethalometer can be
apportioned to traffic and wood burning. The method is based on the differences in the …

Residential biomass burning has been pointed out as one of the largest sources of fine
particles in the global troposphere with serious impacts on air quality, climate and human …

Light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols (LACs), including black carbon and light-absorbing
organic carbon (brown carbon, BrC), have an important role in the Earth system via heating …

1. INTRODUCTION Atmospheric aerosols play a key role in the Earth's atmosphere.
Aerosols influence cloud formation and their lifetime, they affect the distribution and amount …

Multiple linkages connect air quality and climate change. Many air pollutant sources also
emit carbon dioxide (CO2), the dominant anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG). The two …

The mechanisms leading to the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) are an
important subject of ongoing research for both air quality and climate. Recent laboratory …
