Chemical characterization of model aerosols
Abstract
Model aerosols were generated from individual hydrocarbon precursors and nitrogen oxides under simulated atmospheric conditions in a 17.3 cu m environmental chamber. Aerosols were collected on glass fiber filters and organic matter was obtained by solvent extraction. Organic reaction products were analyzed in detail by techniques including gas chromatography and gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. The study also included evaluation of techniques for selective derivatization of aerosol products. A variety of polyfunctional reaction products were identified.
