Formation and aging of secondary organic aerosol from toluene: changes in chemical composition, volatility, and hygroscopicity

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is transformed after its initial formation, but this chemical aging of SOA is poorly understood. Experiments were conducted in the Carnegie Mellon environmental chamber to form secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from the photo-oxidation of toluene and other small aromati...
