Molecular characterization of gaseous and particulate phases of primary and secondary biomass burning emissions and understanding of their toxicity

Laboratoire Chimie de l'Environnement · Faculty of Sciences

  • Marseille, France
  • Environmental science

Knowledge of particulate matter (PM) in ambient air is essential to assess health and climate impacts of air pollution. Their sources, formation processes and chemical composition are still poorly known. Biomass burning accounts for a significant part of the primary emissions of fine PM in ambient air notably in winter period due to wood combustion used for residential heating purposes. This source also emits large quantities of volatile and semi-volatile organic species leading to the formation, via (photo-)chemical processes, of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) accounting for a substantial p
