The atmospheric photolysis of o-tolualdehyde.

The photolysis of o-tolualdehyde by natural sunlight has been investigated at the large outdoor European Photoreactor (EUPHORE) in Valencia, Spain. The photolysis rate coefficient was measured directly under different solar flux levels, with values in the range j(o-tolualdehyde) = (1.62-2.

Is benzene a precursor for secondary organic aerosol?

It is currently assumed that benzene contributes only negligibly to secondary organic aerosol formation in the atmosphere. Our understanding of the capacity of benzene to generate secondary aerosols is based on the work of Izumi and Fukuyama (Atmos. Environ.

Photolysis of chloral under atmospheric conditions.

The photolysis of chloral under atmospheric conditions was studied at the large outdoor European Photoreactor (EUPHORE) in Valencia, Spain. The photodissociation rate coefficient, J(chloral), was measured directly under different sunlight conditions during April 1999. Values in the range of J(chloral) = (4.
