Title
DRI researchers discover new type of soot particle from wildfire emissions
Abstract
In a paper published this month in Nature Scientific Reports, a team of scientists led by Rajan Chakrabarty, Ph.D and graduate student Nicholas Beres from Nevada's Desert Research Institute report the observation of a previously unrecognized form of soot particle, identified by the authors as 'superaggregates,' from wildfire emissions. These newly identified particles were detected in smoke plumes from wildfires in Northern California, New Mexico, Mexico City, and India.
