Light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols (LACs), including black carbon and light-absorbing
organic carbon (brown carbon, BrC), have an important role in the Earth system via heating …

Aerosols are of central importance for atmospheric chemistry and physics, the biosphere,
climate, and public health. The airborne solid and liquid particles in the nanometer to …

The optical properties of the light-absorbing, carbonaceous substance often called
“soot,”“black carbon,” or “carbon black" have been the subject of some debate. These …
