Air quality impacts from wildfires have been dramatic in recent years, with millions of people
exposed to elevated and sometimes hazardous fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) …

A key Earth system science question is the role of atmospheric deposition in supplying vital
nutrients to the phytoplankton that form the base of marine food webs. Industrial and …

Primary biological aerosol particles (PBAP) play an important role in the climate system,
facilitating the formation of ice within clouds, consequently PBAP may be important in …

This study examines the concentrations and characteristics of carbonaceous aerosols
(including saccharides) and inorganic species measured by PM 2.5 filter sampling and a …

Biomass burning is a major source of Brown Carbon (BrC), strongly contributing to radiative
forcing. In urban areas of the climate-sensitive Southeastern European region, where strong …

Levoglucosan (LG) emitted from non-biomass burning (non-BB) sources has given rise to
biased or even unreasonable source identification results when adopting LG as a distinct …

The adverse effects of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) on health and ecosystems, as
well as on meteorology and climate change, are well known to the scientific community. It is …

Levoglucosan has been widely used to quantitatively assess biomass burning's contribution
to ambient aerosols, but previous such assessments have not accounted for levoglucosan's …

Saccharides are omnipresent compounds in terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Since the
2000s, their role in environmental and geochemical studies has significantly increased, but …

The atmospheric processes under polluted environments involving interactions of
anthropogenic pollutants and natural emissions lead to the formation of various and …
