Name: Hildebrandt Ruiz Lab_20170925_ISOPRENE_Chlorine radical_N/A_low NOx_seedless
Date: 2017-09-25

Organization
Hildebrandt Ruiz Lab

Chamber
LHR Chamber

Experiment Set
Isoprene + Cl

Goals
Investigate how FIGAERO data varies with seedless experiments.

Summary
Low NOx experiment between isoprene and Chlorine where several FIGAERO filter collections were done. UV lights were turned on till enough SOA was formed, then turned off immediately once SOA showed photolysis behavior (decrease in OA signal). The lights on/off was repeated again for an hour to investigate whether or not more aerosol would form.

Time format and units:
Description:
Environmental chamber experiments were carried out under low-NOx conditions with isoprene and chlorine as primary VOC and oxidant sources. Secondary organic aerosol yields were calculated upon complete isoprene consumption. Formation of particulate organochloride was tracked using an ACSM. A high-resolution time-of-flight chemical ionization mass spectrometer was used to determine the molecular composition of gas-phase species using iodide–water and hydronium–water cluster ionization.
