Short summary
The atmospheric decomposition of the biogenic α-phellandrene with ozone is characterised by conducting carefully controlled experiments in a smog chamber. Major gas-phase products are identified based on theoretical/mechanism insight, with yields quantified. Meanwhile, a significant amount of aerosol is formed and characterised, with Criegee intermediates found to be important for new particle formation. It is concluded that α-phellandrene contributes to aerosol formation/growth where emitted.
