The dataset was used to report optical artifacts in traditional solvent extraction based photometry techniques. Biomass fuels from different sources were combusted and the absorption coefficients obtained using solvent-extraction based techniques were compared to their particle-phase counterparts. Trends in the absorption coefficient bias were explored with (1) OC/TC ratios and (2) single scattering albedo (SSA). A linear trend with the OC/TC ratio and SSA was also observed for the biomass burning samples that were investigated. Obtained results and experimental methodology are detailed in the manuscript linked with this dataset.
