Short summary
In these laboratory studies, two types of biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA) were generated in a combustion chamber and treated in a flow reactor to mimic atmospheric oxidation. Complementary bulk and molecular chemical measurements show that while many species deplete with oxidation, oxidized BBOA markers are enhanced. The results provide insight into the complex chemical evolution of BBOA over nearly 10 days of atmospheric photochemistry, informing future laboratory and field studies.
