Chamber
Georgia Tech Environmental Chamber (Far)
Experiment Set
Monoterpene ON_Takeuchi
Goals
To characterize particulate organic nitrate generated from photooxidation of a-pinene in moderate NO level and to understand its hydrolysis process.
Summary
SOA including particulate organic nitrate formed upon UV light on by injecting 20 ppb a-pinene and 2 ppm H2O2, and keeping NO level at around 50 ppb by continuous injection.
