Wuppertal, 2023 AB - Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play an important role in the atmosphere. VOCs are mostly emitted from the land surface and are oxidized by oxidants such as hydroxyl radicals (OH) and ozone (O3) upon their emissions into the atmosphere. The oxidation of VOCs has wide-ranging impacts for example on local-scale air quality and climate. The chemistry of the oxidation of VOCs depends on environmental conditions such as temperature and concentrations of pollutants like nitric oxide (NO). The NO concentration affects the chemistry of organic peroxy (RO2) radicals produced from the oxidation of VOCs by competing with other reaction pathways of RO2 radicals such as unimolecular reactions and the reaction with hydroperoxyl radicals (HO2) and other RO2 radicals LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)3 ; PUB:(DE-HGF)11 DO - DOI:10.34734/FZJ-2024-01715 UR - https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1023483 ER -
