Global modeling of secondary organic aerosol formation from aromatic hydrocarbons: high- vs. low-yield pathways
Formation of SOA from the aromatic species toluene, xylene, and, for the first time, benzene, is added to a global chemical transport model. A simple mechanism is presented that accounts for competition between low and high-yield pathways of SOA formation, wherein secondary gas-phase products react...
