Short summary
We investigated the formation of atmospheric pollutants from chlorine-initiated oxidation of alkanes, which may occur in polluted environments. We report for the first the formation of alkane-derived chlorinated organics. We also propose a new approach to representing the chemical composition, volatility, and thermal desorption behavior of organic aerosols. Overall, our study suggests that the oxidation of alkanes can be an important source of organic aerosols in polluted environments.
