Molecular composition and photochemical lifetimes of brown carbon chromophores in biomass burning organic aerosol

<p>To better understand the effects of wildfires on air quality and climate, it is important to assess the occurrence of chromophoric compounds in smoke and characterize their optical properties. This study explores the molecular composition of light-absorbing organic aerosol, or brown carbon...
