Anthropogenic emissions and land use changes have modified atmospheric aerosol
concentrations and size distributions over time. Understanding preindustrial conditions and …

Biomass is one most abundant resource on the earth providing important energies in
support of socioeconomic development in many areas. Burning of biomass fuels comprises …

India, the second largest agro-based economy with year-round crop cultivation, generates a
large amount of agricultural waste, including crop residues. In the absence of adequate …

The evolution of organic aerosol (OA) and brown carbon (BrC) in wildfire plumes, including
the relative contributions of primary versus secondary sources, has been uncertain in part …

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 …

Oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) by the nitrate radical (NO 3)
represents one of the important interactions between anthropogenic emissions related to …

Lag Ba'Omer, a nationwide bonfire festival in Israel, was chosen as a case study to
investigate the influence of a major biomass burning event on the light absorption properties …

Emissions from biomass burning are a significant source of brown carbon (BrC) in the
atmosphere. In this study, we investigate the molecular composition of freshly emitted …

Particulate brown carbon (BrC) in the atmosphere absorbs light at subvisible wavelengths
and has poorly constrained but potentially large climate forcing impacts. BrC from biomass …

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 …
