Biomass burning (BB) is a major source of air pollution from local to global scale, having
variable effects on air quality, human health, and climate system. Therefore, the source …

Saccharides are omnipresent compounds in terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Since the
2000s, their role in environmental and geochemical studies has significantly increased, but …

The carbon isotopic composition of individual plant leaf waxes (a proxy for C3 vs. C4
vegetation) in a marine sediment core collected from beneath the plume of Sahara-derived …

Levoglucosan (LG) emitted from non-biomass burning (non-BB) sources has given rise to
biased or even unreasonable source identification results when adopting LG as a distinct …

A measurement campaign was performed between 04/03/2013 and 17/07/2013 for
simultaneous collection of PM 2.5 samples in two nearby sites in southeastern Italy: an …

Biomass burning is a major source of greenhouse gases and influences regional to global
climate. Pre-industrial fire-history records from black carbon, charcoal and other proxies …

Wildfires can influence the earth's radiative forcing through the emission of biomass-burning
aerosols. To better constrain the impacts of wildfires on climate and understand their …

Levoglucosan is considered as a useful molecular tracer of biomass-burning aerosols in the
atmosphere. To characterize the seasonal variation of its concentrations over the Pacific …

Biomass burning is one of the most important sources of organic matter in the atmosphere
as it affects the absorption and scattering of solar radiation, creates cloud condensation …

We successfully detected biomass burning tracers including levoglucosan and vanillic, p-
hydroxybenzoic and dehydroabietic acids in an ice core (153m long, ca. 300years old) taken …
