Kinetic modeling of secondary organic aerosol formation: effects of particle- and gas-phase reactions of semivolatile products

The distinguishing mechanism of formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is the partitioning of semivolatile hydrocarbon oxidation products between the gas and aerosol phases. While SOA formation is typically described in terms of partitioning only, the rate of formation and ultimate yield of SO...
