Light absorbing organic molecules known as brown carbon (BrC) can be emitted during
processes such as cooking and combustion in indoor environments. We hypothesized that …

Household cookstove emissions are an important source of carbonaceous aerosols
globally. The light-absorbing organic carbon (OC), also termed brown carbon (BrC), from …

Brown carbon (BrC), which may include secondary organic aerosol (SOA), can be a
significant climate-forcing agent via its optical absorption properties. However, the overall …

Light-absorbing organic aerosol, or brown carbon (BrC), has significant but poorly
constrained effects on climate; for example, oxidation in the atmosphere may alter its optical …

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 …

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 …

Reactive organic carbon (ROC) comprises a substantial fraction of the total atmospheric
carbon budget. Emissions of ROC fuel atmospheric oxidation chemistry to produce …

Cookstoves are a major source of black carbon (BC) particles and associated organic
compounds, which influence the atmospheric radiative balance. We present results from …

Particle emissions from cooking are a major contributor to residential indoor air pollution and
could also contribute to ambient concentrations. An important constituent of these emissions …

Light-absorbing organic carbon (OC), also referred to as “brown carbon”(BrC), has been
intensively investigated in atmospheres impacted by biomass burning. However, other BrC …
