Characterization of a large biogenic secondary organic aerosol event from eastern Canadian forests

Characterization of a large biogenic secondary organic aerosol event from eastern Canadian forests

Measurements of aerosol composition, volatile organic compounds, and CO are used to determine biogenic secondary organic aerosol (SOA) concentrations at a rural site 70 km north of Toronto. These biogenic SOA levels are many times higher than past observations and occur during a period of increasing...
