Abstract:Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D 5 ), a common ingredient in many personal care products (PCPs), undergoes oxidation in the atmosphere, leading to the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Yet, the specific contributions of D 5derived SOA on ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) have not been characterized. This study addresses this knowledge gap by introducing a new analytical method to advance the molecular characterization of oxidized D 5 and its detection in ambient aerosol. The newly developed … Show more
