TL;DR: The most comprehensive measurement of biomass burning emissions to date and it should enable improved representation of smoke composition in atmospheric models is presented in this article, where the results support a recent estimate of global NMOC emissions from biomass burning that is much higher than widely used estimates and they provide important insights into the nature of smoke.

TL;DR: In this article, a high-resolution proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometer (PTR-TOF-MS) was deployed to measure biomass-burning emissions from peat, crop residue, cooking fires, and many other fire types during the fourth Fire Lab at Missoula Experiment (FLAME-4) laboratory campaign.

TL;DR: The results of the Missoula Experiment (FLAME-4) as discussed by the authors showed that the OP-FTIR was used to measure the initial emissions of 20 trace gases: CO2, CO, CH4, C2H2, C3H6, HCHO, HCOOH, CH3H4, H2O, HCl, NO, NO2, HONO, NH3, HCN, HCL, and SO2.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mobile smoke sampling team in the Indonesian province of Central Kalimantan on the island of Borneo made the first, or rare, field measurements of trace gases, aerosol optical properties, and aerosol mass emissions for authentic peat fires burning at various depths in different peat types.

TL;DR: Polycyclic hydrocarbons that possess extended p conjugation are of significant interest because of their potential use in optical and electronic devices such as light emitting devices, field-effect transistors, and photovoltaics, and the groups of Saito, Kawase, and Tilley have recently described improved methods for their construction.
