DOI: 10.1016/j.apr.2021.02.011
Abstract: Abstract Cities in southern Chile are facing high levels of PM2.5 because of wood burning pollution. We quantify the contribution of wood smoke to fine particles in two mid-size cities: Molina and Valdivia, located in… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/acp-2020-924
Abstract: Abstract. Particulate matter (PM) affects visibility, climate, and public health. Organic matter (OM), a uniquely complex portion of PM, can make up more than half of total atmospheric fine PM. We investigated the effect of… read more here.
