Abstract

Abstract. Because of the climate and air quality effects of organic aerosol, it is important to quantify the influence of anthropogenic emissions on the aerosol burden, both globally and regionally, and both in terms of mass and number. Methods exist with which the fractions of organic aerosol resulting directly from anthropogenic and biogenic processes can be estimated. However, anthropogenic emissions can also lead to an enhancement in secondary organic aerosol formation from naturally emitted precursors. We term this enhanced biogenic secondary organic aerosol (eBSOA). Here, we review the mechanisms through which such an effect may occur in the atmosphere and describe a work flow via which it may be quantified, using existing measurement techniques. An examination of published data reveals support for the existence of the enhancement effect.

  • Natural emissions interact with anthropogenic emissions to influence resulting air quality in the Arctic, both in composition and pollutant levels.

    “Yet these natural emissions interact with anthropogenic emissions to in fl uence resulting air quality, both in terms of composition and pollutant levels (e.g., Hoyle et al., 2011).”

    From Local Arctic Air Pollution: A Neglected but Serious Problem (2018) · cites this paper as Hoyle et al., 2011

    The Abstract and section 2.3 describe how anthropogenic emissions may enhance aerosol formation from natural precursors, with implications for air quality even in relatively pristine environments. The cited paper supports the general interaction, but the passages do not establish its effects on Arctic air quality specifically or on pollutant levels broadly beyond organic aerosol.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
