From this study based on the decay of these compounds against time and the estimated C OH in the chamber based on the d‐9 butanol decay (equivalent to using the relative decay technique).

From Atkinson and Arey (2003).73 Rates were weighted by the compounds’ relative abundances, and these abundances were varied through an initial, separate Monte Carlo simulation to determine the variability of these rates.

a

Using Terp decay rates and C OH and CO3 from this study and (kOH,Terp/kO3,Terp) ratios for a mix of terpenes from Atkinson and Arey (2003),73 through a separate Monte Carlo simulation.

b

From NIST (2016)74 (taken from Grosjean et al. (1993)75).

Considered to be inert against ozone.

Estimated using the reaction of C3 against hydroxyl radicals, k OH,C3, from this study and the relationship between k OH,C3 and kO3,C3 reported in Colman et al. (2015)76 for α, β‐unsaturated aldehydes: ln(kO3,C3)=0.16~ln(k OH,C3) − 7.55.
