Secondary organic aerosol formation from monoterpenes: gaps in our current understanding. University of Antwerp

The major objectives of the project are to unravel the role of terpenylic acid and related compounds. We hypothesize that these compounds are key monomers of the clusters formed in the early stages of new particle formation, as well as of polar and higher-molecular weight (MW) products formed upon chemical aging, owing to the reactivity of the lactone group.
