In the western United States, number and severity of large wildfires have been growing for decades. Biomass burning (BB) is a major source volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to atmosphere both globally regionally. Following emission, BB VOCs are oxidized while being transported downwind, producing ozone, secondary aerosols, hazardous VOCs. this research, we measured using proton transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) in an urban area 55–65 km downwind October 2017 Northern California wildfires. Nonaromatic oxygenated were dominant component measured. smoke plumes, account 70–75% total observed carbon, with remainder particulate matter (with diameter <2.5 μm, PM2.5). We show that correlation furan (primary VOC) maleic anhydride (secondary can indicate origin This was further confirmed by diurnal variations their concentration-weighted trajectories. Oxidation during transport consumed highly reactive including benzenoids, furanoids, terpenoids produced more Furthermore, wildfire altered ozone formation regime raised O3 levels San Francisco Bay Area.

Phenolic compounds are largely emitted from biomass burning (BB) and have a significant potential to form SOA (Phc-SOA). However, the toxicological properties of Phc-SOA remain unclear. In this study, phenol guaiacol were chosen as two representative phenolic gases in BB plumes, water-soluble components their generated under different photochemical ages NOx levels investigated. contribute greatly oxidative (OP) biomass-burning SOA. OH-adducts (e.g., 2-methoxyhydroquinone) identified (GSOA) with high OP.

Combining acellular assays can provide comprehensive understanding aerosol properties.

Abstract Furans are a major class of volatile organic compounds emitted from biomass burning. Their high reactivity with atmospheric oxidants leads to the formation secondary aerosol (SOA), including brown carbon (BrC) that can affect global climate via interactions solar radiation. Here, we investigate optical properties and chemical composition SOA generated photooxidation furfural, 2‐methylfuran, 3‐methylfuran under dry (RH < 5%) humid ∼ 50%) conditions in presence nitrogen oxides (NO x ) ammonium sulfate seed aerosol. Dry furfural oxidation has greatest BrC formation, reduced nitrogen‐containing (NOCs) SOA, which dominated by amines amides formed reactions between carbonyls ammonia/ammonium. Based on products detected, propose novel pathways NOCs photooxidation, contribute accretion during photochemical aging burning plumes.

Particle phase state is a property of atmospheric aerosols that has important implications for the formation, evolution, and gas/particle partitioning secondary organic aerosol (SOA). In this work, we use size-resolved chemistry microphysics model (Statistical Oxidation Model coupled to TwO Moment Aerosol Sectional (SOM-TOMAS)), updated include an explicit treatment particle state, constrain bulk diffusion coefficient (Db) SOA produced from α-pinene ozonolysis. By leveraging data laboratory experiments performed in absence seed under dry conditions, find Db can be constrained ((1–7) × 10–15 cm2 s–1 these experiments) by simultaneously reproducing time-varying mass concentrations evolution size distribution. Another version our used predicted composition calculate glass-transition temperature, viscosity, and, ultimately, (∼10–15 s–1) was able reproduce distribution measurements when included oligomer formation (oligomers accounted about fifth mass). Our work highlights potential using historical

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) data gathered in environmental chambers (ECs) have been used extensively to develop parameters represent SOA formation and evolution. The EC-based are usually constrained less than one day of photochemical aging but extrapolated predict over much longer timescales atmospheric models. Recently, has increasingly studied oxidation flow reactors (OFRs) multiple days. However, these OFR rarely validate or update the parameters. simultaneous use EC is challenging because processes relevant evolution proceed very different timescales, both reactor types exhibit distinct experimental artifacts. In this work, we show that a kinetic chemistry microphysics model accounts for various processes, including wall losses, phase state, heterogeneous oxidation, oligomerization, new particle formation, can simultaneously explain experiments, using single consistent set With α-pinene as an example, first developed by fitting output measured mass concentration oxygen-to-carbon (O:C) ratio from experiment (<1 aging). We then simulate experiments found overestimated (by factor 3–16) ages ranging 0.4 13 days, when excluding abovementioned processes. By comprehensively accounting was able observed mass, composition (i.e., O:C), size distribution experiments. This work suggests be modeled consistently, synergistic aid developing more refined

Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with millions of premature deaths annually. Oxidative stress through overproduction reactive oxygen species (ROS) a possible mechanism for PM2.5-induced health effects. Organic aerosol (OA) dominant component PM2.5 worldwide, yet its role in toxicity poorly understood due chemical complexity. Here, integrated cellular ROS measurements and detailed multi-instrument characterization PM urban southeastern United States, we show that oxygenated OA (OOA), especially more-oxidized OOA, the main type production. We further reveal highly unsaturated containing carbon–oxygen double bonds aromatic rings OOA are major contributors These results highlight key features driving toxicity. As ubiquitous abundant atmosphere, this emphasizes need understand sources processing when formulating effective strategies mitigate impacts.

Oxidizing triplet excited states of organic matter (3C*) drive numerous reactions in fog/cloud drops and aerosol liquid water (ALW). Quantifying oxidizing concentrations ALW is difficult because 3C* probe loss can be inhibited by the high levels dissolved (DOM) copper particle water, leading to an underestimate concentrations. In addition, illuminated contains singlet molecular oxygen (1O2*), which interfere with probes. Our overarching goal find a that has low inhibition DOM Cu(II) sensitivity 1O2*. To this end, we tested 12 potential probes from variety compound classes. Some are strongly DOM, while others react rapidly One candidates, (phenylthiol)acetic acid (PTA), seems well suited for conditions, mild fast rate constants triplets, but it also weaknesses, including pH-dependent reactivity. We evaluated performance both PTA syringol (SYR) as aqueous extracts particulate matter. While less sensitive than SYR, results lower concentrations, possibly reactive weakly triplets.

Abstract. Nucleation in the free troposphere (FT) and subsequent growth of new particles represent a globally important source cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Whereas particle formation (NPF) has been shown to occur frequently upper over tropical oceans, there have few studies NPF at lower altitudes. In addition, impact urban emissions biomass burning on marine FT remains poorly understood. this study, we examine mid-troposphere (3–8.5 km) ocean coastal region using airborne measurements during recent Cloud, Aerosol Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex). was mostly observed above 5.5 km coincided with elevated relative humidity (RH) reduced sink (CS), suggesting that occurs convective outflow. The frequency increases altitude, reaching ∼ 50 % 8 km. An abrupt decrease coincides early monsoon transition is attributed increased CS resulting from activity more frequent transport aged plumes. Surprisingly, large fraction events background air were morning, likely made possible by very low despite actinic flux. Convectively detrained biomass-burning plumes fresh enhance as result precursor concentrations scavenging pre-existing particles. contrast, suppressed where reactive precursors are consumed, while relatively high. This study shows strong FT. results also illustrate competing influences different variables interactions among anthropogenic emissions, clouds, meteorology, which lead under variety conditions environments.
