Cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes (cVMS) are high-production chemicals present in many
personal care products. They are volatile, hydrophobic, and relatively long-lived due to slow …

Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5, C 10 H 30 O 5 Si 5) is measured at parts per trillion
(ppt) levels outdoors and parts per billion (ppb) levels indoors. Primarily used in personal …

We report on a novel automated oxidation flow reactor to generate a wide variety of organic
aerosol samples. The instrument is equipped with a humidifier, a dosing system for volatile …

Abstract Guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol) has a high emission rate from wood burning and
mainly exists in the gas phase, but the formation potential of secondary organic aerosol …

In this study we modeled secondary organic aerosol (SOA) mass loadings from the oxidation
(by O 3, OH and NO 3) of five representative biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) …

Wood combustion emissions can induce oxidative stress in the human respiratory tract by
reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the aerosol particles, which are emitted either directly or …

On-line chemical characterization of real-world particle emissions from 13 transit buses was
performed using a chemical ionization mass spectrometer (CIMS) equipped with a filter inlet …

Inhalation of atmospheric particles is linked to human diseases. Reactive oxygen species
(ROS) present in these atmospheric aerosols may play an important role. However, the ROS …

A study about the temporal variation of organic emissions from a modern wood log fired
masonry heater was carried out with different gas analysis techniques: single-photon …

The multilinear engine (ME-2) factorization tool is being widely used following the recent
development of the Source Finder (SoFi) interface at the Paul Scherrer Institute. However …
