Tracers from Biomass Burning Emissions and Identification of Biomass Burning [PDF]
Atmosphere, 2021 The major organic compositions from biomass burning emissions are monosaccharide derivatives from the breakdown of cellulose, generally accompanied by small amounts of straight-chain, aliphatic, oxygenated compounds, and terpenoids from vegetation waxes,

Seasonal variations of anhydrosugars in PM2.5 in the Pearl River Delta Region, China [PDF]
Tellus: Series B, Chemical and Physical Meteorology, 2014 Anhydrosugars including levoglucosan and mannosan are the most effective organic tracers for biomass burning aerosol in the atmosphere. In this study, to investigate the contribution of biomass burning emissions to the aerosol burden in the Pearl River ...

Biomass Burning Measurements in Earlinet [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 The biomass burning events are analyzed using the EARLINET-ACTRIS atmospheric profiling of aerosols using lidars. The period of 2008-2017 was chosen to analyze all the events assigned in the EARLINET database under Forest Fire category.

On the use of ATSR fire count data to estimate the seasonal and interannual variability of vegetation fire emissions [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2002 Biomass burning has long been recognised as an important source of trace gases and aerosols in the atmosphere. The burning of vegetation has a repeating seasonal pattern, but the intensity of burning and the exact localisation of fires vary ...

Airborne particulate matter from biomass burning in Thailand: Recent issues, challenges, and options
Heliyon, 2023 Many of the current atmospheric environmental problems facing Thailand are linked to air pollution that is largely derived from biomass burning. Different parts of Thailand have distinctive sources of biomass emissions that affect air quality.

Dry season aerosol iron solubility in tropical northern Australia [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 Marine nitrogen fixation is co-limited by the supply of iron (Fe) and phosphorus in large regions of the global ocean. The deposition of soluble aerosol Fe can initiate nitrogen fixation and trigger toxic algal blooms in nitrate-poor tropical waters ...
