Effect of NOx level on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photooxidation of terpenes
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photooxidation of one monoterpene (α-pinene) and two sesquiterpenes (longifolene and aromadendrene) is investigated in the Caltech environmental chambers. The effect of NOx on SOA formation for these biogenic hydrocarbons is evaluated by performing photooxidation experiments under varying NOx conditions. The NOx dependence of α-pinene SOA forma...
متن کاملImpact of the hydrocarbon to NOx ratio on secondary organic aerosol formation.
A series of m-xylene/NOx experiments were conducted in the new Bourns College of Engineering-Center for Environmental Research and Technology dual 90 m3 indoor smog chamber to elucidate the role of NOx on the secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation potential of m-xylene. The results presented herein demonstrate a clear dependence of m-xylene SOA formation potential on NOx, particularly at atm...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Global modeling of secondary organic aerosol formation from aromatic hydrocarbons: high- vs low-yield pathways” by D. K. Henze et al
The study by Henze et al. ”Global modeling of secondary organic aerosol formation from aromatic hydrocarbons: Highvs low-yield pathways” investigates the global relevance of recent simulation chamber results that parameterize the NOx dependence of SOA yields from benzene, toluene and m-xylene, by Ng et al. (2007). The paper is generally well written, and presents the results on the NOx dependen...
متن کاملCritical factors determining the variation in SOA yields from terpene ozonolysis: a combined experimental and computational study.
A substantial fraction of the total ultrafine particulate mass is comprised of organic compounds. Of this fraction, a significant subfraction is secondary organic aerosol (SOA), meaning that the compounds are a by-product of chemistry in the atmosphere. However, our understanding of the kinetics and mechanisms leading to and following SOA formation is in its infancy. We lack a clear description...
