Influence of Wildfire on Urban Ozone: An Observationally Constrained Box Modeling Study at a Site in the Colorado Front Range

Pamela S. Rickly et al.

Summary: Increasing trends in biomass burning emissions significantly impact air quality in North America. The transport of smoke from local and long-range fires has been found to increase the mixing ratios of ozone (O3) in urban areas. This is primarily due to the transport of pyrogenic volatile organic compounds (PVOCs) and the influence of O3 produced within the smoke. Detailed chemical measurements have shown that both local and long-range smoke periods lead to increases in carbon monoxide, background O3, OH reactivity, and total VOCs, while the NOx mixing ratios remain constant. Box-model calculations indicate that local O3 production is in the NOx-sensitive regime, with PVOCs substantially increasing O3 production in the transition and NOx-saturated regimes.

Observed increases in extreme fire weather driven by atmospheric humidity and temperature

Piyush Jain et al.

Summary: Recent increases in regional wildfire activity have been linked to climate change, driven predominantly by decreasing relative humidity and increasing temperature. Future fire risk may increase as climate change projections suggest global decreases in relative humidity and increases in temperature.

Determination of anhydride in atmospheric fine particles by optimized solvent extraction

Lingzhi Zhang et al.

Summary: Anhydrides are common oxygenated-PAHs found in the atmosphere and can cause respiratory sensitization in humans. This study investigates the reaction of anhydrides with methanol and the difficulties encountered in solvent extraction and GC analysis. It also quantifies and identifies anhydrides in PM2.5 collected in suburban Beijing during the winter heating period in 2017.

Evolution of Brown Carbon Aerosols during Atmospheric Long-Range Transport in the South Asian Outflow and Himalayan Cryosphere

Vikram Choudhary et al.

Summary: The Himalayas are crucial for the water sources of 2 billion people in South and East Asia, but climate change has led to accelerated loss of the Himalayan cryosphere. This study reveals that brown carbon (BrC) in the Himalayan atmosphere has a longer atmospheric half-life and slower decay rate compared to BrC in the South Asian outflow, possibly due to highly viscous organic aerosols and lower temperature and humidity in the cryospheric atmosphere.

Measurement report: Observations of long-lived volatile organic compounds from the 2019-2020 Australian wildfires during the COALA campaign

Asher P. Mouat et al.

Summary: In the largest wildfire season on record in Australia, researchers analyzed nighttime observations to calculate emission ratios and factors for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They compared their results with similar studies in Australian biomes and US temperate forests, finding reasonable agreement. The study provides important insights into VOC emissions in Australian temperate forests and their impact on air quality.

Chemical Characterization of Emissions Arising from Solid Fuel Combustion-Contrasting Wood and Cow Dung Burning

Max Loebel Roson et al.

Summary: Biomass burning is a major source of ultrafine particulate matter in the atmosphere, contributing to global health risks and climate change. Chemical analyses of emissions from biomass burning show that emissions from cow dung are consistently lower in levoglucosan than emissions from wood. The study highlights the need for further research on biomass types less common in Western contexts.

Ozonolysis of Oleic Acid Aerosol Revisited: Multiphase Chemical Kinetics and Reaction Mechanisms

Thomas Berkemeier et al.

Summary: The chemical processing of organic aerosol particles plays a crucial role in atmospheric chemistry, climate, and public health. Heterogeneous oxidation of oleic acid particles by ozone is a commonly studied model system. However, there are systematic differences and inconsistencies in existing kinetic data and mechanistic analyses, which can be reconciled with consistent sets of multiphase chemical kinetic parameters through inverse modeling. Further experimental evidence is needed to uniquely determine these parameters and it is suggested that secondary reactions involving Criegee intermediates are essential for resolving discrepancies found in earlier studies.
