Overview of the Alaskan Layered Pollution and Chemical Analysis (ALPACA) Field Experiment
Athanasios Nenes, Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Roman Pohorsky, Sukriti Kapur
The Alaskan Layered Pollution And Chemical Analysis (ALPACA) field experiment was a collaborative study designed to improve understanding of pollution sources and chemical processes during winter (cold climate and low-photochemical activity), to investigat ...
2024What happens to biomass burning-emitted particles in the ocean? A laboratory experimental approach based on their tracers
Wildfires, controlled burns, and biofuel combustion (biomass burning or BB) are major contributors to particulate matter in the atmosphere and thus have an impact on climate, human health, and ecosystems. Once emitted, the particulate matter derived from B ...
Amsterdam2023Chemical evolution of primary and secondary biomass burning aerosols during daytime and nighttime
Athanasios Nenes, Satoshi Takahama, Spyros Pandis, Amir Yazdani
Fine particulate matter (PM) affects visibility, climate, and public health. Biomass burning (BB) in the forms of residential wood burning, wildfires, and prescribed burning is a major source of primary and secondary organic matter (OM, an important fracti ...
2022Secondary aerosol formation during the dark oxidation of residential biomass burning emissions
Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis
Particulate matter from biomass burning emissions affects air quality, ecosystems and climate; however, quantifying these effects requires that the connection between primary emissions and secondary aerosol production is firmly established. We performed at ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2022Water soluble reactive phosphate (SRP) in atmospheric particles over East Mediterranean: The importance of dust and biomass burning events
Athanasios Nenes, Kalliopi Violaki, Christos Panagiotopoulos
The importance of dust and biomass burning episodes on the atmospheric concentration of water-soluble reactive phosphate (SRP) was determined in the eastern Mediterranean. SRP was measured with a new rapid real-time automated analytical system with a time ...
ELSEVIER2022Nighttime chemistry of biomass burning emissions in urban areas: A dual mobile chamber study
Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis
Residential biomass burning for heating purposes is an important source of air pollutants during winter. Here we test the hypothesis that significant secondary organic aerosol production can take place even during winter nights through oxidation of the emi ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2021Characterization of primary and aged wood burning and coal combustion organic aerosols in an environmental chamber and its implications for atmospheric aerosols
Satoshi Takahama, Imad El Haddad, Nikunj Dudani, Amir Yazdani
Particulate matter (PM) affects visibility, climate, and public health. Organic matter (OM), a uniquely complex portion of PM, can make up more than half of total atmospheric fine PM mass. We investigated the effect of aging on secondary organic aerosol (S ...
European Geosciences Union2021Temporary pause in the growth of atmospheric ethane and propane in 2015–2018
Hélène Paule Angot, Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois
Atmospheric non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) play an important role in the formation of secondary organic aerosols and ozone. After a multidecadal global decline in atmospheric mole fractions of ethane and propane – the most abundant atmospheric NMHCs – pr ...
2021Rapid dark aging of biomass burning as an overlooked source of oxidized organic aerosol
Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis
Oxidized organic aerosol (OOA) is a major component of ambient particulate matter, substantially impacting climate, human health, and ecosystems. OOA is readily produced in the presence of sunlight, and requires days of photooxidation to reach the levels o ...
