Isoprene carries approximately half of the flux of non-methane volatile organic carbon
emitted to the atmosphere by the biosphere. Accurate representation of its oxidation rate and …

A new environmental reaction smog chamber was built to simulate particle formation and
growth similar to that expected in the atmosphere. The organic material is formed from …

A new simulation chamber has been built at the Interuniversitary Laboratory of Atmospheric
Systems (LISA). The CESAM chamber (French acronym for Experimental Multiphasic …

The absence of up-to-date emissions has been a major impediment to accurately simulating
aspects of atmospheric chemistry and to precisely quantifying the impact of changes in …

The capabilities of the recently developed Vocus proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass
spectrometer (PTR-TOF) are reported for the first time based on ambient measurements …

Tropospheric ozone is increasing at a fast pace and causes large losses of production in
cultivated plants and forests (UNECE, 2004). Ozone risk assessment has been based for a …

Atmospheric oxidation of isoprene and its oxidation products methacrolein (MACR) and
methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) have an important impact on the photochemical activity in the …

The reactions of ozone with alkenes are an important source of hydroxyl (OH) radicals;
however, quantification of their importance is hindered by uncertainties in the absolute OH …

This study describes the design of the Manchester Aerosol Chamber (MAC), initially
developed in 2005 and presents for the first time its comprehensive characterisation. The …

Nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollution is emerging as a primary environmental concern across
Europe. While some large European metropolitan areas are already in breach of EU safety …
