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

Abstract Recently, PM 2.5 (atmospheric fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter≤
2.5 μm) have received so much attention that the observations, source appointment and …

Since the publication of the compilation of biomass burning emission factors by Andreae
and Merlet (2001), a large number of studies have greatly expanded the amount of available …

Volatile and intermediate-volatility non-methane organic gases (NMOGs) released from
biomass burning were measured during laboratory-simulated wildfires by proton-transfer …

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 …

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 …

Abstract The NOAA/NASA Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air
Quality (FIREX‐AQ) experiment was a multi‐agency, inter‐disciplinary research effort to:(a) …

Biomass burning is a major source of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) with impacts on
health, climate, and air quality. The particles and vapors within biomass burning plumes …

Each year, the general public and wildland firefighters in the US are exposed to smoke from
wildland fires. As part of an effort to characterize health risks of breathing this smoke, a …

We present emission measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for western US
wildland fires made on the NSF/NCAR C‐130 research aircraft during the Western Wildfire …
