TLDR
In this paper, the effects of NO x and SO 2 on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from photooxidation of α-pinene and limonene at ≥ 0.05 to 15.5ppb were investigated.Abstract:
. Anthropogenic emissions such as NO x and SO 2 influence the biogenic
secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation, but detailed mechanisms and
effects are still elusive. We studied the effects of NO x and SO 2 on
the SOA formation from the photooxidation of α -pinene and limonene at
ambient relevant NO x and SO 2 concentrations (NO x : 2 : < 0.05 to 15 ppb). In these experiments,
monoterpene oxidation was dominated by OH oxidation. We found that SO 2
induced nucleation and enhanced SOA mass formation. NO x strongly
suppressed not only new particle formation but also SOA mass yield. However,
in the presence of SO 2 which induced a high number concentration of
particles after oxidation to H 2 SO 4 , the suppression of the mass
yield of SOA by NO x was completely or partly compensated for. This indicates
that the suppression of SOA yield by NO x was largely due to the
suppressed new particle formation, leading to a lack of particle surface for
the organics to condense on and thus a significant influence of vapor wall
loss on SOA mass yield. By compensating for the suppressing effect on
nucleation of NO x , SO 2 also compensated for the suppressing effect
on SOA yield. Aerosol mass spectrometer data show that increasing NO x
enhanced nitrate formation. The majority of the nitrate was organic nitrate
(57–77 %), even in low-NO x conditions ( ∼ 1 ppb). Organic nitrate contributed 7–26 % of total organics assuming a
molecular weight of 200 g mol −1 . SOA from α -pinene photooxidation at
high NO x had a generally lower hydrogen to carbon ratio (H ∕ C), compared to
low NO x . The NO x dependence of the chemical composition can be
attributed to the NO x dependence of the branching ratio of the RO 2
loss reactions, leading to a lower fraction of organic hydroperoxides and
higher fractions of organic nitrates at high NO x . While NO x
suppressed new particle formation and SOA mass formation, SO 2 can
compensate for such effects, and the combining effect of SO 2 and
NO x may have an important influence on SOA formation affected by
interactions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with anthropogenic
emissions.read more

TL;DR: The results suggest that to mitigate PM2.5 pollution in China, more efficient SOAP-based control measures should be implemented instead of current emissions-based policies, and VOC control strategies should be adapted to local conditions.

TL;DR: It is shown that NOx suppresses particle growth in general, but the suppression is rather nonuniform and size dependent, which can be quantitatively explained by the shifted HOM volatility after adding NOx.
