- Abstract:
- Organic compounds, such as hydrocarbons, are emitted in large quantities from both natural and man-influenced sources. This can have a variety of influences on the environment, ranging from immediate health impacts in the locality of the release to regional and global effects on atmospheric composition and climate. The latter result from the chemical processing of organic material in the atmosphere, which leads to the generation of a variety of products (sometimes known as secondary pollutants), for example ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA). The fellowship work programme aims to improve our knowledge and assessment of the quantitative impacts of emitted organic material emitted into the atmosphere. This is being achieved through a combination of laboratory mechanistic studies, chemical mechanism development and the use of the chemical mechanisms in models of the atmosphere to investigate the impacts of the emitted organic compounds, and what can be done to reduce these impacts.
