“…Similar results have also been observed in the photooxidation and ozonolysis of α-pinene SOA experiments: that SOA mass yield increased by 13 % as a response to NH 3 addition (Babar et al, 2017). Besides, the addition of NH 3 could also promote the SOA formation from photooxidation of vehicle exhaust (Chen et al, 2019;, anthropogenic VOCs (Wang et al, 2018;Huang et al, 2018) and acrolein (Li et al, 2019). The promotion mechanism of NH 3 to SOA formation can be both through base-acid reaction (Schlag et al, 2017;Babar et al, 2017;Rubach et al, 2013;Mensah et al, 2012;Na et al, 2007) and by the NH 3 uptake to the carbonyl group (Zhu et al, 2018;.…”
