Secondary organic aerosol formation and organic nitrate yield from NO3 oxidation of biogenic hydrocarbons.

ABSTRACT: The secondary organic aerosol (SOA) mass yields from NO3 oxidation of a series of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), consisting of five monoterpenes and one sesquiterpene (?-pinene, ?-pinene, ?-3-carene, limonene, sabinene, and ?-caryophyllene), were investigated in a series of continuous flow experiments in a 10 m(3) indoor Teflon chamber. By making in situ measurements of the nitrate radical and employing a kinetics box model, we generate time-dependent yield curves as a function of reacted BVOC. SOA yields varied dramatically among the different BVOCs, from zero for ?-pinene to 38-65% for ?-3-carene and 86% for ?-caryophyllene at mass loading of 10 ?g m(-3), suggesting that model mechanisms that treat all NO3 + monoterpene reactions equally will lead to errors in predicted SOA depending on each location's mix of BVOC emissions. In most cases, organonitrate is a dominant component of the aerosol produced, but in the case of ?-pinene, little organonitrate and no aerosol is formed.
