Aerosol affects Earth's climate and the health of its inhabitants. A major contributor to aerosol formation is the oxidation of volatile organic compounds. Monoterpenes are an important class of volatile organic compounds, and recent research demonstrate that they can be converted to low-volatility aerosol precursors on sub-second timescales following a single oxidant attack. The α-pinene + O<sub>3</sub> system is particularly efficient in this regard. However, the actual mechanism behind this c ...[more]
