Emission of volatile organic compounds from residential biomass burning and their rapid chemical transformations.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) were monitored during the Ioannina 2022/23 winter campaign, in north-east Greece. The campaign was carried out between December 6th, 2021, and January 10th, 2022. Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, PM10 and Black carbon were also monitored, as well as meteorological variables. Ioannina is nested within the Dinaric mountains and suffers from intense winter pollution events, due to the topology which traps the pollution over the city. The instruments deployed included a Proton Transfer Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS 4000 – Ionicon GmbH, Austria), a greenhouse gas monitor (G2301 – Picarro Inc., USA), a suite of carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen oxide analyzers (APMA-360, APNA-360 and APOA-360 – Horiba Ltd., Japan), a PM10 monitor (F-701-20 – DURAG, Germany), an aethalometer (AE33 – Magee Scientific, USA) and a weather station. Radiation, historical temperature data from the University of Ioannina, and PMF analysis results are also submitted.
