Interactive 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 کاملGlobal modeling of secondary organic aerosol formation from aromatic hydrocarbons: high- vs. low-yield pathways
Formation of SOA from the aromatic species toluene, xylene, and, for the first time, benzene, is added to a global chemical transport model. A simple mechanism is presented that accounts for competition between low and high-yield pathways of SOA formation, wherein secondary gas-phase products react further with either nitric oxide (NO) or hydroperoxy radical (HO2) to yield semior non-volatile p...
متن کاملPublic health impacts of secondary particulate formation from aromatic hydrocarbons in gasoline
BACKGROUND Aromatic hydrocarbons emitted from gasoline-powered vehicles contribute to the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA), which increases the atmospheric mass concentration of fine particles (PM2.5). Here we estimate the public health burden associated with exposures to the subset of PM2.5 that originates from vehicle emissions of aromatics under business as usual conditions. ME...
متن کاملSecondary organic aerosol formation from m-xylene, toluene, and benzene
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photooxidation of m-xylene, toluene, and benzene is investigated in the Caltech environmental chambers. Experiments are performed under two limiting NOx conditions; under high-NOx conditions the peroxy radicals (RO2) react only with NO, while under low-NOx conditions they react only with HO2. For all three aromatics studied (m-xylene, toluene, ...
متن کاملElucidating secondary organic aerosol from diesel and gasoline vehicles through detailed characterization of organic carbon emissions.
Emissions from gasoline and diesel vehicles are predominant anthropogenic sources of reactive gas-phase organic carbon and key precursors to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in urban areas. Their relative importance for aerosol formation is a controversial issue with implications for air quality control policy and public health. We characterize the chemical composition, mass distribution, and or...
