abstract = {The interactions of aerosols consisting of humic acids with
gaseous nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were investigated under
different light conditions in aerosol flow tube experiments
at ambient pressure and temperature. The results show that
NO2 is converted on the humic acid aerosol into nitrous acid
(HONO), which is released from the aerosol and can be
detected in the gas phase at the reactor exit. The formation
of HONO on the humic acid aerosol is strongly activated by
light: In the dark, the HONO-formation was below the
detection limit, but it was increasing with the intensity of
the irradiation with visible light. Under simulated
atmospheric conditions with respect to the actinic flux,
relative humidity and NO2-concentration, reactive uptake
coefficients gamma(rxn) for the NO2 -> HONO conversion on
the aerosol between gamma(rxn) < 10(-7) (in the dark) and
gamma(rxn)=6x 10(-6) were observed. The observed uptake
coefficients decreased with increasing NO2-concentration in
the range from 2.7 to 280 ppb and were dependent on the
relative humidity (RH) with slightly reduced values at low
humidity (< $20\%$ RH) and high humidity (> $60\%$ RH). The
measured uptake coefficients for the NO2 -> HONO conversion
are too low to explain the HONO-formation rates observed
near the ground in rural and urban environments by the
conversion of NO2 -> HONO on organic aerosol surfaces, even
if one would assume that all aerosols consist of humic acid
only. It is concluded that the processes leading to HONO
formation on the Earth surface will have a much larger
impact on the HONO-formation in the lowermost layer of the
troposphere than humic materials potentially occurring in
airborne particles.},
