Experiment Set Details
Name: Catechol Reactions
Time format and units: Time is defined as (hh:mm) local time.
Description:
Catechol was reacted with OH and NO3 radicals in the presence of NOx to investigate SOA formation of a biomass burning VOC under daytime and night time conditions, respectively. Reactions were conducted in the presence of NOx to simulate biomass burning conditions.
