On-road vehicles are an important source of atmospheric particulate matter (PM), producing both primary aerosol and gas-phase precursors, which react in the atmosphere lead to formation secondary aerosol. Over past 50 years, emissions from exhaust passenger cars have been thoroughly studied, on contrary, other on-road vehicles, like mopeds, buses, heavy-duty received less attention. Moreover, as regulatory measures reduce concentrations emitted significance precursors increases. The aim this...
<p>Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) can be formed in the atmosphere through oxidation of volatile (VOCs), intermediate volatility (IVOCs) and semivolatile compounds (SVOCs), condensation their less products to particulate phase. While there has been a lot progress with simulation VOC chemistry, IVOCs remains challenging. In this study, we develop new approach for treatment these chemical transport models, treating them as lumped species, similar VOCs. The species are implemented...
