Organic aerosol (OA) emissions from wildfires across the western United States have
significant impacts on the climate and air quality. Brown carbon (BrC)—the light-absorbing …

The light-absorption properties of brown carbon (BrC) are often estimated using offline,
solvent-extraction methods. However, recent studies have found evidence of insoluble BrC …

This study seeks to understand the compositional details of N-containing aromatic
compounds (NACs) emitted during biomass burning (BB) and their contribution to light …

To better understand the effects of wildfires on air quality and climate, it is important to
assess the occurrence of chromophoric compounds in smoke and characterize their optical …

Light absorbing organic carbon, or brown carbon (BrC), can be a significant contributor to
the visible light absorption budget. However, the sources of BrC and the contributions of BrC …

Emissions from biomass burning are a significant source of brown carbon (BrC) in the
atmosphere. In this study, we investigate the molecular composition of freshly emitted …

Biomass combustion produces black carbon (BC) and brown carbon (BrC) aerosols that
contribute substantially to warming the Earth's atmosphere. Accurate knowledge of their …

Brown carbon (BrC) associated with aerosol particles in western United States wildfires was
measured between July and August 2019 aboard the NASA DC-8 research aircraft during …

Climate change has exacerbated fire activity in the boreal region. Consequently, smoldering
boreal peatland fires are an increasingly important source of light-absorbing atmospheric …

This study provides molecular insights into the light absorption properties of biomass
burning (BB) brown carbon (BrC) through the chemical characterization of tar condensates …
