Air quality impacts from wildfires have been dramatic in recent years, with millions of people
exposed to elevated and sometimes hazardous fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) …

Residential biomass burning has been pointed out as one of the largest sources of fine
particles in the global troposphere with serious impacts on air quality, climate and human …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) produced by atmospheric oxidation of primary emitted
precursors is a major contributor to fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) air pollution worldwide …

Emitted by numerous primary sources and formed by secondary sources, atmospheric
brown carbon (BrC) aerosol is chemically complex. As BrC aerosol ages in the atmosphere …

Abstract Purpose of Review The direct radiative effect of brown carbon (BrC) absorption
predicated by climate-modeling studies is highly uncertain, with values ranging between+ …

Carbonaceous aerosols affect the global radiative balance by absorbing and scattering
radiation, which leads to warming or cooling of the atmosphere, respectively. Black carbon is …

Brown carbon (BrC) consists of those organic compounds in atmospheric aerosols that
absorb solar radiation and may play an important role in planetary radiative forcing and …

Biomass burning is a major source of atmospheric brown carbon (BrC), and through its
absorption of UV/VIS radiation, it can play an important role in the planetary radiative …

Observations from a wintertime and summertime field campaign are used to assess the
relationship between black and brown carbon (BC and BrC, respectively) optical properties …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) constitutes a large fraction of organic aerosol worldwide,
however, the formation mechanisms in polluted environments remain poorly understood …
