Chronic exposure to indoor biomass smoke from the combustion of solid organic fuels is a
major cause of disease burden worldwide. Almost 3 billion people use solid fuels such as …

Biomass is one most abundant resource on the earth providing important energies in
support of socioeconomic development in many areas. Burning of biomass fuels comprises …

The lifecycle of black carbon (BC)-containing particles from biomass burns is examined
using aircraft and surface observations of the BC mixing state for plume ages from∼ 15 min …

Wildfires are a major source of biomass burning aerosol to the atmosphere, with their
incidence and intensity expected to increase in a warmer future climate. However, the …

Anisole (methoxybenzene) represents an important marker compound of lignin pyrolysis
and a starting material for many chemical products. In this study, secondary organic aerosols …

Methoxyphenols and nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) have strong atmospheric radiative
forcing effects and adverse effects on human health. They are emitted from the incomplete …

The chemical composition of particulate matter (PM) in biomass-burning smoke evolves
upon aging in the atmosphere. The effect of this evolution on the toxicity of biomass-burning …

Wildfires, which have been occurring increasingly in the era of climate change, emit massive
amounts of particulate matter (PM) into the atmosphere, strongly affecting air quality and …

Biomass burning (BB) events are occurring globally with increasing frequency, and their
emissions are having more impacts on human health and climate. Large ash particles are …

Biomass burning (BB) is an important source of primary organic aerosols (POA). These POA
contain a significant fraction of semivolatile organic compounds, and can release them into …
