Although black carbon (BC) is one of the key atmospheric particulate components driving
climate change and air quality, there is no agreement on the terminology that considers all …

Abstract The 1999 Regional Haze Rule provides a context for this review of visibility, the
science that describes it, and the use of that science in regulatory guidance. The scientific …

Black carbon aerosol plays a unique and important role in Earth's climate system. Black
carbon is a type of carbonaceous material with a unique combination of physical properties …

The optical properties of the light-absorbing, carbonaceous substance often called
“soot,”“black carbon,” or “carbon black" have been the subject of some debate. These …

We present a global tabulation of black carbon (BC) and primary organic carbon (OC)
particles emitted from combustion. We include emissions from fossil fuels, biofuels, open …

In virtually all published literature wherein closure between gravimetric and chemical
measurements is tested, the concentration of particulate organics is estimated by multiplying …

Two-hour average organic and elemental carbon concentrations from the 1987 Southern
California Air Quality Study were used to gain an understanding of the dynamics of organic …

The thermal/optical reflectance method of carbon analysis developed by Huntzicker et al.(in
Particulate Carbon, Atmospheric Life Cycle, edited by Wolff GT and Klimisch RL, pp. 79–88 …

Aerosol samples from urban, rural and coastal areas in Europe were analysed for
carbonaceous content by a thermaloptical transmission method. The fraction of particulate …

In the past 30 years, the field of black carbon (BC) research has expanded broadly,
stretching from its traditional core in the atmospheric sciences into oceanography, soil …
