Biomass burning (BB) is a significant air pollution source, with global, regional and local
impacts on air quality, public health and climate. Worldwide an extensive range of studies …

Atmospheric aerosols are complex mixtures of different chemical species, and individual
particles exist in many different shapes and morphologies. Together, these characteristics …

The understanding of soot formation in combustion processes and the optimization of
practical combustion systems require in situ measurement techniques that can provide …

Mineral dust aerosol is one of the major types of aerosol present in the troposphere. The
molecular level interactions of water vapor with mineral dust are of global significance …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) accounts for a significant fraction of ambient tropospheric
aerosol and a detailed knowledge of the formation, properties and transformation of SOA is …

Organic species are an important but poorly characterized constituent of airborne particulate
matter. A quantitative understanding of the organic fraction of particles (organic aerosol, OA) …

Wildfires emit significant amounts of pollutants that degrade air quality. Plumes from three
wildfires in the western US were measured from aircraft during the Studies of Emissions and …

In recent years, Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometers (AMS) have been used in many
locations around the world to study the size-resolved, nonrefractory chemical composition of …

To investigate the seasonal characteristics of submicron aerosol (PM1) in Beijing urban
areas, a high‐resolution time‐of‐flight aerosol‐mass‐spectrometer (HR‐ToF‐AMS) was …

The development of a new high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-
AMS) is reported. The high-resolution capabilities of this instrument allow the direct …
