Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOM) are formed in the atmosphere via autoxidation
involving peroxy radicals arising from volatile organic compounds (VOC). HOM condense on …

Organic peroxy radicals (often abbreviated RO2) play a central role in the chemistry of the
Earth's lower atmosphere. Formed in the atmospheric oxidation of essentially every organic …

Forests emit large quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the atmosphere. Their
condensable oxidation products can form secondary organic aerosol, a significant and …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) accounts for a significant fraction of ambient tropospheric
aerosol and a detailed knowledge of the formation, properties and transformation of SOA is …

Air quality transcends all scales with in the atmosphere from the local to the global with
handovers and feedbacks at each scale interaction. Air quality has manifold effects on …

The chemistry of the atmosphere encompasses a vast number of reactions acting on a
plethora of intermediates. These reactions, occurring sequentially and in parallel, give rise to …

Explaining the formation of secondary organic aerosol is an intriguing question in
atmospheric sciences because of its importance for Earth's radiation budget and the …

The prompt formation of highly oxidized organic compounds in the ozonolysis of
cyclohexene (C6H10) was investigated by means of laboratory experiments together with …

We report a new general method for trapping short-lived radicals, based on a homolytic
substitution reaction SH2′. This departure from conventional radical trapping by addition or …

The Leuven isoprene mechanism, proposed earlier to aid in rationalizing the unexpectedly
high hydroxyl radical (OH) concentrations in isoprene-rich, low-nitric-oxide (NO) regions …
