TOPIC: "Atmospheric
Chemistry of Organic Aerosols"
Atmospheric aerosol particles consist of a complex
mixture of inorganic and organic material, and range in size from less than a nanometer to hundreds of micrometers. They influence
the chemistry of the atmosphere, visibility, global climate, and human health. The organic components of particulate matter
are either emitted directly to the atmosphere (primary organic aerosol, POA), mainly from combustion sources, or they are
formed in situ by condensation of low-volatility products of the reactions of volatile organic compounds with hydroxyl radicals,
nitrate radicals, or ozone (secondary organic aerosol, SOA). POA and SOA can be further transformed by heterogeneous reactions
with the same oxidants. In this talk, I will describe recent studies from our laboratory aimed at identifying the products
and elucidating the mechanisms of reactions of selected organic compounds with atmospheric oxidants in both the gas and particle
phases. The results have implications for understanding many types of organic oxidation reactions involved in the formation
and processing of atmospheric organic particles and their potential impact on cloud formation.
