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 …

Wildfire smoke, consisting primarily of organic aerosols, has profound impacts on air quality,
climate and human health. Wildfire organic aerosol evolves over long-time photochemical …

Biomass burning is the largest combustion-related source of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) to the atmosphere. We describe the development of a state-of-the-science model to …

Partitioning of gas-phase organic compounds to the walls of Teflon environmental chambers
is a recently reported phenomenon than can affect the yields of reaction products and …

In the atmosphere, certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) undergo oxidation. Some of
these oxidation products then condense into the particle phase. Oxidation products that …

Chamber oxidation experiments conducted at the Fire Sciences Laboratory in 2016 are
evaluated to identify important chemical processes contributing to the hydroxy radical (OH) …

Multiple trace-gas instruments were deployed during the fourth Fire Lab at Missoula
Experiment (FLAME-4), including the first application of proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight …

Recent studies have demonstrated that organic compounds can partition from the gas phase
to the walls in Teflon environmental chambers and that the process can be modeled as …

After smoke from burning biomass is emitted into the atmosphere, chemical and physical
processes change the composition and amount of organic aerosol present in the aged …

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) in biomass-burning aerosol (BBA) that affect cloud glaciation,
microphysics, precipitation, and radiative forcing were recently found to be driven by the …
