Analysis of Organic Nitrogen Compounds in Urban Aerosol Samples Using GCxGC-TOF/MS
in Aerosol Science and Technology
| Description | That the degradation products of gas phase organic compounds from gasoline, diesel and natural sources control the timescale and amount of aerosol formed when oxidised in the atmosphere. Further observations have then shown the impact of diesel engines and unburnt diesel fuel on overall aerosol expsoure in UK cities. |
| Exploitation Route | The findings have been used to inform UK policy on emissions and air pollution control. |
| Sectors | Environment |
| Description | Improved understand of the mechanisms by which aerosols form have been used to inform on policy for air pollution control. |
