Aerosols produced from the oxidation of volatile/semi-volatile organic compounds
(VOCs/SVOCs), known as secondary organic aerosol (SOA), account for a significant …

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

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 …

Proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) has been widely used to study the
emissions, distributions, and chemical evolution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (AVOCs) often dominate the urban atmosphere
and consist to a large degree of aromatic hydrocarbons (ArHCs), such as benzene, toluene …
