Saccharides are omnipresent compounds in terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Since the
2000s, their role in environmental and geochemical studies has significantly increased, but …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is known to account for a major fraction of airborne
particulate matter, with significant impacts on air quality and climate at the global scale …

Abstract PM 2.5 and NO 2 concentrations were measured simultaneously indoors and
outdoors for ten different city centre buildings (shops and offices) in Dublin, Ireland. Outdoor …

Levoglucosan (LG) has been widely identified as a specific marker for biomass burning (BB)
sources and frequently utilized in estimating the BB contribution to atmospheric fine particles …

Abstract The Brazilian Amazon represents about 40% of the world's remaining tropical
rainforest. However, human activities have become important drivers of disturbance in that …

The utilization of solid fuels remains a significant contributor to air pollution, with well-
documented adverse health consequences. In rural regions, the prevalence of solid fuel use …

The Amazon Basin plays key role in atmospheric chemistry, biodiversity and climate change.
In this study we applied nanoelectrospray (nanoESI) ultra-high-resolution mass …

Biomass burning is one of the most important sources of organic matter in the atmosphere
as it affects the absorption and scattering of solar radiation, creates cloud condensation …

We successfully detected biomass burning tracers including levoglucosan and vanillic, p-
