Biomass-burning organic aerosol(s) (BBOA) are rich in brown carbon, which significantly absorbs solar irradiation and potentially accelerates global warming. Despite its importance, the multiphase photochemistry of BBOA after light absorption remains poorly understood due to challenges determining oxidant concentrations reaction kinetics within aerosol particles. In this study, we explored photochemical reactivity particles S(IV) oxidation sulfate. We found that sulfate formation under is predominantly driven by photosensitization involving triplet excited states ( 3 * ) instead iron, nitrate, photochemistry. Rates three orders magnitude higher than those observed bulk solution, primarily fast interfacial reactions. Our results highlight chemistry can greatly contribute sulfate, as an example secondary pollutants. Photosensitization will likely become increasingly crucial intensified wildfires.
