Phenol, a common semi-volatile compound associated with different emissions including from plants and biomass burning, as well anthropogenic its derivatives, are important components of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). Gas aqueous phase reactions phenol, in the presence photochemical drivers, fairly understood. However, despite observations showing aromatic content within SOA size mass increases during dust episodes, heterogeneous phenol mineral dusts poorly In current study, surface at gas/solid interface SiO2, α-Fe2O3, TiO2 have been investigated. Whereas reversible adsorption occurs on SiO2 surfaces, for both α-Fe2O3 reacts to form wide range OH substituted products. For surfaces that nitrated by gas-phase nitric acid prior exposure unique compounds nitro-phenolic compounds. Moreover, additional chemistry was observed when adsorbed products were exposed SO2 result formation nitrite nitrate redox SO2. Overall, this study reveals extensive complexity prevalent leading surfaces.

Electrophilic compounds belong to a group of critical components fine particulate matter (PM2.5) with significant health risk, but little is known regarding their occurrence and sources in the atmosphere. In this study, we developed nontargeted approach analyze electrophilic urban Beijing identified 147 ones diurnal variation, among which oxygenated aromatic (OACs) are predominant species. The discrepancy hierarchical clustering analysis atmospheric transformation markers, e.g., 9-nitroanthracene (9NANT) citraconic anhydride (CA), PAHs, fluoranthene (FLT), suggested potential secondary formation pathway isomeric ratio acephenanthrylene (ACP) FLT, product-to-precursor 11H-benzo[a]fluorene-11-one (BaFO) further demonstrated prevailing existence oxidation. relationship between night-to-day variation molecular characteristics, particularly negative correlation oxygen-related features such as carbon oxidation state, confirmed that multigenerational processes during daytime predominantly drive diurnal/nocturnal differences. This study achieved systematic identification atmosphere, revealing pivotal role on fate organic chemicals resulted variation.
