Particles and indoor chemical reactions Chemical reactions = ozone and UV-initiated reactions in gas-phase and on material surface Particles = solid or liquid aggregates of compounds suspended in air (aerosol) Indoor Air 2008 Mariane Glasius and Peder Wolkoff

Particles and indoor chemical reactions Chemical reactions I: Nitrate radical chemistry UV-light: influence on emission New methods to measure multifunctional compounds Surface chemistry of materials Museum showcases Full scale measurements under realistic conditions Field measurements Bioassays Indoor Air 2008 Mariane Glasius and Peder Wolkoff

Particles and indoor chemical reactions Chemical reactions II: Nitrate radical chemistry competetive with O3 and OH  organic nitrates and PANs PANs and organic nitrates are formed at low ppb level SOA are associated with nitrates and PANs Many new multifunctional oxygenated compounds from surface chemistry - Surface chemistry  C1, C8-C10 aldehydes Transport uptake is a combination of material and coated surface uptake; formaldehyde formation predicted Reaction probability of O3 appears to be higher for on surfaces than in the gas-phase – increased humidity reduces probability Indoor Air 2008 Mariane Glasius and Peder Wolkoff

Particles and indoor chemical reactions Chemical reactions III: Acids are formed in showcases Air fresheners and fragrances form formaldehyde and ultrafine particles in full scale chamber ”Photocatalytic” paints form a number of secondary products (aldehydes) Limonene and formaldehyde are associated in buildings Lighting may influence production of secondary products and SOA Pb may emit due to ozone exposure of material surface Indoor Air 2008 Mariane Glasius and Peder Wolkoff
