Molecular insight into the co-deposition of biomass-burning-smoke dissolved organic matters influencing the interaction between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and soils

Key Points

• Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons interact significantly with dissolved organic matter in soils, affecting contamination levels.
• The study shows that biomass-burning smoke contributes to the deposition of organic matter, which alters soil chemistry.
• Analysis of chemical interactions demonstrated that co-deposition influences the bioavailability of harmful compounds.
• Environmental implications call for further investigation to understand the long-term effects on soil health.
