Abstract

The multi-step oxidation of BVOCs yields products with lower volatility, which allows their partitioning to the particle phase and the formation of SOA. The manner in which this SOA adds to the existing aerosol distribution will influence its impact on the number, size and composition of particles in the atmosphere; in particular, the number of particles that are able to act as CCN.
