TL;DR: Accounting for partitioning and photochemical processing of primary emissions creates a more regionally distributed aerosol and brings model predictions into better agreement with observations, attribute this unexplained secondary organic-aerosol production to the oxidation of low-volatility gas-phase species.

TL;DR: The amount of primary organic aerosol (POA) depends on the gas-particle partitioning of 1000s of individual organic compounds, expressed in terms of the volatility distribution of the emissions as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes some of the important developments during the past decade in understanding secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation, including formation of extremely low volatility organics in the gas phase, acid-catalyzed multiphase chemistry of isoprene epoxydiols, particle-phase oligomerization, and physical properties such as volatility and viscosity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate open biomass burning representative of 1995-2000 from forests using burned area and biomass density specific for Indian ecosystems and crop waste burning as a balance between generation and known uses as fuel and fodder.

TL;DR: The Comprehensive Air-Quality Model with extensions dealing with particulate matter (PMCAMx) was extended to investigate the effects of partitioning and photochemical aging of primary emissions on OA concentrations in the eastern United States during July 2001 and January 2002 as discussed by the authors.
