Reactions of Nitrogen Dioxide and Organic Compounds in AirA mechanism is proposed for the transitory formation of ozone observed when pure nitrogen dioxide in oxygen is irradiated with artificial sunlight DuRING recent years, the growing
In photochemical nitrogen dioxide-olefin reactions at parts-per-million concentrations, only highly substituted or cyclic olefins and diolefins form aerosols. When sulfur dioxide is added, all types of olefins produce particulates. Thus, these reactions could account for some smog in the Los Angeles area During periods of smog in the Los Angeles area, reduction in visibility is commonly attributed to products of reaction between hydrocarbons, especially olefins, and nitrogen oxides or ozone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
