All units are μg m–3 except where indicated otherwise.
MTi, SQTi, Aroi, and MeSAi refer to the initial concentration measured in the chamber before oxidation was initiated.
Reacted VOCs were estimated as described in the text.
The SOA formed in the chamber is estimated from SMPS data and corrected for particle wall losses, and the range is provided for SOA density from 1.0 to 1.5 g cm–3. That range is reflected in the SOA yield also.
SOA yield was calculated as ΔSOA/ΔVOC.
