A laboratory study was carried out to investigate the secondary organic carbon (SOC) yields of alpha-pinene and isoprene in the presence of SO2, which produces acidic aerosol in the system. Experiments were based on irradiating each hydrocarbon (HC) with NOx in a 14.5 m3 smog chamber operated in the dynamic mode. The experimental design consisted of several multi-part experiments for each HC. In the first part of each experiment, an HC/NOx irradiation was conducted in the absence of SO2 and was followed by irradiations with the addition of SO2 in subsequent parts. Filter-based analyses for organic carbon were made using a thermal-optical approach either with an off-line instrument or in situ with an automated instrument. For isoprene in the absence of SO2, the SOC yield was approximately 0.001, a value consistent with earlier work from this laboratory. With the addition of up to 200 ppb SO2, the yield increased by a factor of 7. For alpha-pinene in the absence of SO2, the SOC yield of the irradiated mixture was found to average 0.096 from two experiments. With SO2 in the system, the SOC yield increased on average to 0.132. These results suggest that SO2, and by inference acidic aerosol, may play a role in increasing the yield of SOC from the photooxidation products of biogenic hydrocarbons or by the direct uptake of biogenic hydrocarbons onto acidic aerosol. |
