Prévôt,John H. Seinfeld,Jason D. Surratt,Rafal Szmigielski,Jürgen Wildt +28 more
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the atmospheric degradation mechanisms for SOA precursors, gas-particle partitioning theory and analytical techniques used to determine the chemical composition of SOA is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, high molecular weight (300-650 Da) naturally charged negative ions have previously been observed at a boreal forest site in Hyytiala, Finland and were identified as clusters of the nitrate ion (NO3−) and α-pinene oxidation products reaching oxygen to carbon ratios of 0.7-1.3, while retaining most of the initial ten carbon atoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature dependence of yields of secondary organic aerosols from the ozonolysis of α -pinene and limonene
Harald Saathoff,Karl-Heinz Naumann,Ottmar Möhler,Åsa M. Jonsson,Mattias Hallquist,Astrid Kiendler-Scharr,Th. F. Mentel,Ralf Tillmann,Ulrich Schurath +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation has been investigated as a function of temperature and humidity for the ozone-initiated reaction of the two monoterpenes α-pinene and limonene using the 84.5 m3 aerosol chamber AIDA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photochemical production of aerosols from real plant emissions
Th. F. Mentel,J. Wildt,Astrid Kiendler-Scharr,Einhard Kleist,Ralf Tillmann,M. Dal Maso,R. Fisseha,T. Hohaus,H. Spahn,R. Uerlings,Robert Wegener,Paul T. Griffiths,E. Dinar,Yinon Rudich,Andreas Wahner +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a plant chamber coupled with a reaction chamber for oxidizing the plant emissions and for forming secondary organic aerosols (SOA) was investigated in a new setup.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of an organic coating on the reactivity of aqueous aerosols probed by the heterogeneous hydrolysis of N2O5
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of organic coatings on the heterogeneous hydrolysis of NH4HSO4 particles were investigated in situ in a large aerosol chamber and the experiments showed that films composed of the ozonolysis products of α-pinene can reduce the reaction probability by more than an order of magnitude.
