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 …

Biomass burning is an important source of aerosol and trace gases to the atmosphere, but
how these emissions change chemically during their lifetimes is not fully understood. As part …

Oxidative potential (OP), which is the ability of certain components in atmospheric particles
to generate reactive oxidative species (ROS) and deplete antioxidants in vivo, is a prevailing …

The chemical complexity of biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA) greatly increases with
photochemical aging in the atmosphere, necessitating controlled laboratory studies to inform …

Emissions from biomass burning (BB) vastly contribute to the atmospheric trace gases and
particles, which affect air quality and human health. After emission, the chemical evolution …

Particulate matter from biomass burning emissions affects air quality, ecosystems and
climate; however, quantifying these effects requires that the connection between primary …

Black carbon containing emissions from biomass combustion are being transformed in the
atmosphere upon processing induced by tropospheric ozone and UV. The knowledge today …

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 …

Wood combustion emissions can induce oxidative stress in the human respiratory tract by
reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the aerosol particles, which are emitted either directly or …

Wildfire smoke, consisting primarily of organic aerosols, has profound impacts on air quality,
climate and human health. Wildfire organic aerosol evolves over long-time photochemical …
