In this study, aerosol formation from the ozonolysis of a-pinene is examined using technique particle sizing method. Details of the mechanism for aerosol formation were interrogated by ozonising enal and enone derivatives of a-pinene that allowed competing channels of the reaction to be isolated.  The experiments showed quite clear differences in the characteristics of the aerosol generated from the two derivatives.  In particular, the results showed that ozonolysis of the enal derivative readily generated aerosol while ozonolysis of the eneone did not.  The results are discussed in terms of the known chemistry of the systems.

The Aerosol Society recognises the importance of our diverse community and believe that to produce the best quality science we must encourage a proactive and inclusive approach to equality. This can be achieved by developing and retaining a diverse range of talented people to achieve their full potential free from discrimination. We acknowledge our role in engaging with the wider aerosol science community to develop a fair and friendly environment by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion for all, recognising that we come from varying backgrounds and experiences.
