The reactions of ozone with alkenes: an important source of HOx in the boundary layer
Paulson, SE; Orlando, JJ
1,996
#The reactions of ozone with alkenes have been shown recently to lead to the direct production of OH radicals. Organic peroxy radicals (RO2 ) probably accompany the production of OH. In this paper, we draw attention to the potential importance of these reactions in the primary production of HOx (HOx =OH, HO2 and RO2 ) ...

Heterogeneous interactions of OH and HO2 radicals with surfaces characteristic of atmospheric particulate matter
Cooper, PL; Abbatt, JPD
1,996
The heterogeneous interactions of OH and HO2 radicals with a number of surfaces characteristic of atmospheric particulate matter have been studied by using a low-temperature flow tube coupled to a resonance fluorescence detector. In particular, the mass accommodation coefficients ("alpha") of both OH and HO2 on superco...

Ozone is a common photochemical air pollutant which is present in the ambient air of many urban areas at concentrations sufficient to produce acute respiratory effects in humans. Because individuals vary considerably in the magnitude of their responses to ozone exposure, it is difficult to estimate the number of indivi...
