Abstract

The secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is an important factor of the indoor pollutions. There have been many reports about particle formations by the reaction of VOCs and ozone, and it is known that SOA is generated from the reaction of limonene and ozone in indoor environment. Also many reports about the reaction of limonene and ozone in indoor environment showed that the environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity in the air could affect on SOA formation. However the influence that atmospheric water gives for SOA generation have not yet became clear, also there is no report focused on the SOA composition from limonene and ozone on various environmental conditions. In this study, time dependent SOA composition change was investigated by the experiments using the flow duct chamber on each humid condition in indoor environment.
