Abstract

In rural areas of the western United States, atmospheric mass concentrations of participate organic carbon are comparable to those of sulfate. At the low humidities characteristic of this region, atmospheric light-scattering coefficients are empirically as sensitive to carbon concentrations as they are to sulfate concentrations. The abundance and scattering effectiveness of organic particles imply that they are major contributors to the impairment of scenic views.
