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+ …

Environmental chambers have been playing a vital role in atmospheric chemistry research
for seven decades. In last decade, oxidation flow reactors (OFR) have emerged as a …

Samples of brown carbon (BrC) material were collected from smoke emissions originating
from wood pyrolysis experiments, serving as a proxy for BrC representative of biomass …

Atmospheric brown carbon (BrC) is an important contributor to the radiative forcing of climate
by organic aerosols. Because of the molecular diversity of BrC compounds and their …

This study provides molecular insights into the light absorption properties of biomass
burning (BB) brown carbon (BrC) through the chemical characterization of tar condensates …

The formation of secondary brown carbon (BrC) is chemically complex, leading to an
unclear relationship between its molecular composition and optical properties. Here, we …

Following wood pyrolysis, tar ball aerosols were laboratory generated from wood tar
separated into polar and nonpolar phases. Chemical information of fresh tar balls was …

Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) affect incoming solar radiation by interacting with light
at ultraviolet and visible wavelength ranges. However, the relationship between the …

Nighttime oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) by nitrate radicals
(NO3·) represents one of the most important interactions between anthropogenic and natural …

It has been hypothesized that the cytotoxicity of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) is
mediated through the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the exposed cells …
