Analysis of Organic Oligomers Forming Secondary Aerosol from Wood Combustion-Derived Phenols

Lead Institution

University of California, Davis

Principal Investigator

Cort Anastasio

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Aqueous reactions of phenols will be studied in the laboratory using well defined solutions over a range of conditions (e.g., phenol mixture, oxidant and pH) as surrogates for atmospheric drops. The…

Molecular Characterization of Secondary Organic Aerosol Formed via Aqueous-phase Reactions of Phenolic Compounds

Lead Institution

University of California, Davis

Principal Investigator

Qi Zhang

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

The main objective of this proposed project is to perform detailed, molecular- level characterization of the chemical composition of secondary organic aerosol formed via aqueous-phase reactions of…

Interrogating the Formation Mechanisms of Secondary Organic Aerosols (SOA) from Aqueous-phase Reactions of Phenolic Compounds

Lead Institution

University of California, Davis

Principal Investigator

Qi Zhang

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is usually a major component of airborne particulate matter (PM). Since PM has large impacts on climate, human health, and visibility, understanding the formation and…
