Abstract
Abstract. Stabilized Criegee intermediates (SCIs) have the potential to
oxidize trace species and to produce secondary organic aerosols (SOAs),
making them important factors in tropospheric chemistry. This study
quantitatively investigates the performance of SCIs in SOA formation at
different relative humidity (RH) levels, and the first- and second-generation
oxidations of endo- and exocyclic double bonds ozonated in limonene
ozonolysis are studied separately. Through regulating SCI scavengers, the
yields and rate constants of SCIs in a reaction system were derived, and the
quantities of SCIs were calculated. The quantity of SOAs decreased by more than
20 % under low-humidity conditions (10 % RH–50 % RH), compared to that under
dry conditions, due to the reactions of SCIs with water, while the inhibitory
effect of water on SOA formation was not observed under high-humidity
conditions (60 % RH–90 % RH). When using excessive SCI scavengers to exclude
SCI reactions, it was found that the effect of water on SOA formation with
the presence of SCIs was different from that without the presence of SCIs,
suggesting that SCI reactions were relevant to the non-monotonic impact of
water. The fractions of the SCI contribution to SOAs were similar between dry
and high-humidity conditions, where the SCI reactions accounted for
∼ 63 % and ∼ 73 % in SOA formation in the
first- and second-generation oxidation; however, marked differences in SOA
formation mechanisms were observed. SOA formation showed a positive
correlation with the quantity of SCIs, and the SOA formation potential of SCIs
under high-humidity conditions was more significant than that under dry and
low-humidity conditions. It was estimated that 20 %–30 % of SCIs could be
converted into SOAs under high-humidity conditions, while this value decreased
by nearly half under dry and low-humidity conditions. The typical
contribution of limonene-derived SCIs to SOA formation is calculated to be
(8.21 ± 0.15) × 10−2 µg m−3 h−1 in
forest, (4.26 ± 0.46) × 10−2 µg m−3 h−1
in urban areas, and (2.52 ± 0.28) × 10−1 µg m−3 h−1 in indoor areas. Water is an uncertainty in the role SCIs play
in SOA formation, and the contribution of SCIs to SOA formation needs
consideration even under high RH in the atmosphere.
