7. WSOC and Its Relationship with BC, Levoglucosan and Transition Metals in the PM2.5 of an Urban Area in the Amazon
Water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) makes up a large mass fraction of the organic carbon in the aerosol and can influence important cloud processes in the atmosphere. The capacity of WSOC to form metallic complexes with transition metals is well known; however, its influence on the aerosol of urban areas in the Amazon region is not very well known. In this s
