Secondary organic aerosol formation from the β-pinene+NO<sub>3</sub> system: effect of humidity and peroxy radical fate

The formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from the oxidation of β-pinene via nitrate radicals is investigated in the Georgia Tech Environmental Chamber (GTEC) facility. Aerosol yields are determined for experiments performed under both dry (relative humidity (RH) < 2 %) and humid (RH = 50...
