Biomass burning (BB) is a significant air pollution source, with global, regional and local
impacts on air quality, public health and climate. Worldwide an extensive range of studies …

Air quality impacts from wildfires have been dramatic in recent years, with millions of people
exposed to elevated and sometimes hazardous fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) …

Owing to their toxicity, persistence and capacity for long-range atmospheric transport,
persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are internationally regulated. However, forests can …

Light-absorbing organic carbon (OC), also termed brown carbon (BrC), from laboratory-
based biomass burning (BB) has been studied intensively to understand the contribution of …

Field and laboratory emission factors (EFs) of wildland fire emissions for 276 known air
pollutants sampled across Canada and the US were compiled. An online database, the …

Twenty-five years after the first look at polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in Canada,
this article presents current knowledge on Canadian PAC emission sources. The analysis is …

This study seeks to understand the compositional details of N-containing aromatic
compounds (NACs) emitted during biomass burning (BB) and their contribution to light …

Biomass burning is an important source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and
elemental carbon (EC), but the formation mechanisms are still unclear. Cellulose …

Wildland fire is a major global driver in the exchange of aerosols between terrestrial
environments and the atmosphere. This exchange is commonly quantified using emission …

Residential solid fuel use is an important source of black carbon (BC) but also a main source
of uncertainty in BC emission inventories, as reliable real-world emission factors (EFs) and …
