Organic carbon (OC) accounts for a large fraction of atmospheric aerosol and has profound
effects on air quality, atmospheric chemistry, and climate forcing. The molecular composition …

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 …

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 …

Equivalent black carbon (EBC) measured by a multi-wavelength Aethalometer can be
apportioned to traffic and wood burning. The method is based on the differences in the …

A high-resolution time-of-flight chemical-ionization mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-CIMS) using
Iodide-adducts has been characterized and deployed in several laboratory and field studies …

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 …

We describe a novel inlet that allows measurement of both gas and particle molecular
composition when coupled to mass spectrometric, chromatographic, or optical sensors: the …

Black carbon (BC) and light-absorbing organic carbon (brown carbon, BrC) play key roles in
warming the atmosphere, but the magnitude of their effects remains highly uncertain …
