Redox Oscillation-Driven Production of Reactive Oxygen Species from Black Carbon

Wildfire and stubble burning release substantial amounts of black carbon (BC) into natural environments that experience frequent redox oscillations, such as wetlands and farmlands. Here, we report that redox oscillations can effectively drive ROS production from BC. Following sequential microbial reduction and air exposure, 6.5 ± 0.2 μM/g
