A qualitative comparison of secondary organic aerosol yields and composition from ozonolysis of monoterpenes at varying concentrations of NO2
The effect of NO2 on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from ozonolysis of α-pinene, β-pinene, 1-carene, and limonene was investigated using a dark flowthrough reaction chamber. SOA mass yields were calculated for each monoterpene from ozonolysis with varying NO2 concentrations. Kinetics modeling of the first-generation gasphase chemistry suggests that differences in observed aerosol yie...
متن کاملInfluence of relative humidity and temperature on the production of pinonaldehyde and OH radicals from the ozonolysis of α-pinene
The ozonolysis of α-pinene has been investigated under dry and humid conditions in the temperature range of 243–303 K. The results provided new insight into the role of water and temperature in the degradation mechanism of α-pinene and in the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOA). The SOA yields were higher at humid conditions than at dry conditions. The water induced gain was largest f...
متن کاملOzonolysis of a-pinene at atmospherically relevant concentrations: Temperature dependence of aerosol mass fractions (yields)
[1] Despite a number of smog chamber studies of the a-pinene/O3 system, the effect of temperature on a-pinene secondary organic aerosol (SOA) mass fractions (or yields) remains poorly understood. In this study, the temperature dependence of secondary organic aerosol mass fractions (AMF) during ozonolysis of a-pinene is investigated in a temperature controlled smog chamber. Experiments were perf...
متن کاملInfluence of metal-mediated aerosol-phase oxidation on secondary organic aerosol formation from the ozonolysis and OH-oxidation of α-pinene
The organic component is the most abundant fraction of atmospheric submicron particles, while the formation mechanisms of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) are not fully understood. The effects of sulfate seed aerosols on SOA formation were investigated with a series of experiments carried out using a 9 m3 smog chamber. The presence of FeSO4 or Fe2(SO4)3 seed aerosols decreased SOA yields and inc...
متن کاملReal refractive indices and volatility of secondary organic aerosol generated from photooxidation and ozonolysis of limonene, α-pinene and toluene
Thermodenuding particles can provide insights into aerosol composition and may be a way to create particles in laboratory chambers that better mimic the atmosphere. The relative volatility of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) was investigated by evaporating organics from the particles using a thermodenuder (TD) at temperatures between ∼ 60 and 100 C. Volatility was influenced by the parent hydroc...
