Abstract:Recent work has demonstrated the
primary aerosolization
of cyanobacterial
cells, toxins, and metabolites from cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms
(CHABs). However, another possible source of CHAB-derived aerosols
is secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation via the atmospheric oxidation
of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by CHABs. To examine
potential SOA formation from CHABs, two cyanobacterial VOCs2-methylisoborneol
(2-MIB) and geosmin (GSM)were oxidized via hydroxyl radicals
(•OH) in a potential… Show more
