摘要：

Samples of fine particulate organic matter were collected outside Durham, NC in the Duke Research Forest as part of the CELTIC study in July 2003. Particulate samples were collected on quartz filters using high volume air sampling equipment, and samples were analyzed for polar and non-polar organic species. Among compounds analyzed, oxidation products of alpha-pinene, namely pinic acid and pinonic acid, were identified in all samples. Pinic acid, being a dicarboxylic acid, has a low vapor pressure of the order of 10(-8) Torr and is expected to contribute significantly to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the oxidation of alpha-pinene. Source contribution estimates from primary organic aerosol emissions were computed using the organic species as molecular markers with the chemical mass balance (CMB) model. The unapportioned organic carbon (OC) was determined as the difference between measured OC and OC apportioned to primary sources. This unapportioned OC was then correlated with pinic and pinonic acid to get a better understanding of the role of monoterpene oxidation products to form SOA. A reasonably good fit between pinic acid concentrations and unapportioned OC levels is indicative of the contribution of alpha-pinene oxidation products to SOA formation in ambient atmosphere. The results are significant considering the role of monoterpene emissions to global atmospheric chemistry. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
