a

Reactions are taken from Lim et al. (25) and references therein except where footnoted. GLY = glyoxal, GLYAC = glyoxylic acid, OXLAC = oxalic acid, OH = OH radical. Dissociation rate constants (kd, s−1) are calculated from the equilibrium constant (Keq, M) and association rate constants (ka, M−1 s−1) by kd=Keq× ka.

b

Hydrogen peroxide photolysis rate (k1, s−1) is estimated by fitting H2O2 loss in H2O2 + UV control experiments.

c

The reaction between oxalic acid and dissolved oxygen was removed from the initial mechanism as no reaction was observed in control experiments.

d

This reaction was measured by Leitzke et al. (34) and was not included by Lim et al.
