The carbonaceous particles represent a significant fraction in the particulate matter (PM) and
are considered an environmental hazard due to their effects on climate and health. The main …

Light-absorbing organic carbon (or brown carbon, BrC) has been recognized as a critical
driver in regional-to-global climate change on account of its significant contribution to light …

Existing studies on vertical profiling of black carbon (BC) and ozone (O 3) were mainly
conducted in the rural areas, leading to limited knowledge of their vertical distributions in the …

This study examines the spectral properties and source characteristics of absorbing
aerosols (BC: Black Carbon; BrC: Brown Carbon, based on aethalometer measurements) in …

Black carbon (BC) aerosols have been widely recognized as a vital climate forcer in the
atmosphere. Amplification of light absorption can occur due to coatings on BC during …

Carbonaceous constituents have various adverse impacts on human health, visibility, and
climate change. Although comprehensive studies on the characteristics of carbonaceous …

Atmospheric brown carbon (BrC) is an important constituent of light-absorbing organic
aerosols with many unclear issues. Here, the light-absorption properties of BrC with different …

A distinctive kind of organic carbon aerosol that could absorb ultraviolet-visible radiation is
called brown carbon (BrC), which has an important positive influence on radiative budget …

Residential biomass combustion significantly contributes to light-absorbing carbonaceous
aerosols in the atmosphere, impacting the earth's radiative balance at regional and global …

Carbonaceous aerosols (CAs) are major components of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) that
dramatically influence the energy budget of Earth. However, accurate assessment of the …
