Abstract: We hypothesize that firework events involving the combustion of charcoal fuel, organic binders, metal salts, and cellulose-based wrapping material could be significant transient sources of aerosol brown carbon (BrC). To test this, we couple high… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Estimates of the brown carbon (BrC) absorption and their contribution to light absorption in ambient aerosols are poorly understood. The existing approaches to apportion light absorption into black carbon (BC) and BrC mainly use… read more here.
