Isotopes of volatile organic compounds: an emerging approach for studying atmospheric budgets and chemistry.

Interactive comment on “Assessment of high to low frequency variations of isoprene emission rates using a neural network approach” by C. Boissard et al

The emission of biogenic volatile organic compounds, hereafter referred to as BVOC, is well accepted as a dominant factor in atmospheric chemistry and physics. Despite this wide acceptance we still face significant gaps in our knowledge of emission budgets and emission regulation. We need more data on emission qualities and quantities which can only be gained by experimental work providing supp...

Nitrate radicals and biogenic volatile organic compounds: oxidation, mechanisms, and organic aerosol

Oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) by the nitrate radical (NO3) represents one of the important interactions between anthropogenic emissions related to combustion and natural emissions from the biosphere. This interaction has been recognized for more than 3 decades, during which time a large body of research has emerged from laboratory, field, and modeling studies. NO3BVOC ...

Karin Granström Emissions of volatile organic compounds from wood

The central aim of this thesis is to support the efforts to counteract certain environmental problems caused by emissions of volatile organic compounds. The purpose of this work was (1) to develop a method to measure emissions from dryers, (2) to determine the effect of drying medium temperature and end moisture content of the processed material on emissions of monoterpenes and other hydrocarbo...

Studies of the Atmospheric Chemistry of Volatile Organic Compounds and of Their Atmospheric Reaction Products

QSAR Prediction of Half-Life, Nondimentional Eeffective Degradation Rate Constant and Effective Péclet Number of Volatile Organic Compounds

In this work some quantitative structure activity relationship models were developed for prediction of three bioenvironmental parameters of 28 volatile organic compounds, which are used in assessing the behavior of pollutants in soil. These parameters are; half-life, non dimensional effective degradation rate constant and effective Péclet number in two type of soil. The most effective descripto...
