Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePotential Photooxidation Pathways of Dicarboxylic Acids in Atmospheric DropletsL.M. Yang, L.E. Yu, M.B. RayLow molecular weight (LMW) dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) have received increasing attention because of their hygroscopic properties and capability of acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Based on the concentration profiles of intermediates identified during laboratory photooxidation of C7-C9 DCAs in a liquid-phase reaction system, chemometric analyses were conducted to examine the degradation pathways of DCAs for the formation of secondary … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,497 accessesView PDFCite
