- Abstract:
- i) to develop new methods for routine observations of the oxygenated VOCs concentrations in air based on advanced GC-MS technology. ii) Specifically targeted OVOCs will include methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, methyl butenol (MBO), acetone, butanone, 3-methyl furan, acrolein, mathacrolein, methyl vinyl ketone and the C2 to C6 aldehydes. iii) Survey for new OVOCs in the VOCs sample matrix. iv) In collaboration with Leeds, participate in their TORCH 2004 field campaign. v) Obtain parallel measurements for as many NMHCs as can be resolved and deconvoluted by GC-MS techniques. Key species to include isoprene, 1,3-butadiene, benzene and toluene together with the n- and iso- C2 to C6 alkanes. vi) From the resolved OVOCs and NMHC measurements investigate hydrocarbon degradation products in air of different photochemical age and origin.
