Gas–particle partitioning of toluene oxidation products: an experimental and modeling study

. Aromatic hydrocarbons represent a large fraction of anthropogenic volatile organic compounds and significantly 20 contribute to tropospheric ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. Toluene photooxidation experiments were carried out in an oxidation flow reactor (OFR). We identified and quantified the gaseous and particulate reaction products at 280, 285 and 295 K using a proton-transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometer (PTR-ToF-MS) coupled to a CHemical Analysis of aeRosol ONline (CHARON) inlet. The reaction products
