Abstract
Isoprene represent the main component of the total biogenic volatile organic compound emissions. Its oxidation may have a significant impact on the ozone production. Observations of total peroxy nitrates and total alkyl nitrates carried out during summer 2010 above the United Kingdom (RONOCO campaign) are analyzed using a detailed chemical mechanism (MCM). In order to investigate the oxidation of isoprene by NO3 sensitivity tests involving the yield of these reactions and the recycling of the alkyl nitrates derived from isoprene are carried out. The impact of isoprene on production of alkyl nitrates and peroxy nitrates is discussed.File in questo prodotto:
