Abstract:Acidic sodium nitrate (NaNO 3 ) is the fine particles commonly found in urban atmosphere, which is beneficial to the formation of nitro-aromatic compounds (NACs). The NACs and optics of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) generated from the photo-oxidation of ethylbenzene with acid NaNO 3 fine particles were characterized in the current study. The results demonstrated that acidic NaNO 3 can significantly promote the formation of SOA. Compared with the carbonyls detected in SOA without fine particles, nitrophenols,… Show more
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.
