Sources• Automobile fuels, solvents • Aromatics typically contribute 20-25% to anthropogenic VOC emissionsTransformation• Reaction with hydroxyl radical (OH) in troposphere• Formation of ozone, nitrates, secondary organic aerosol (SOA)Impacts• Air pollution and Health effects in urban areasInformation required• Kinetics of reaction, identity & yields of oxidation products• Reactivity of the oxidation products towards OH, NO3, O3, sunlight • Produce a detailed atmospheric degradation mechanism for inclusion in
models (e.g. MCM) used to predict pollution forming ability of VOCs

Conclusions• Advances in knowledge of the reactivity of xylene
oxidation products – improved mechanisms
• Small dicarbonyl compounds partition to the particle phase much more than expected from vapor pressure calculations
• Suggests further processes occuring on/in particles (oligomerization) -eg. Kalberer et al. Science 2004

Future Directions
• On-tube derivatization of acids/phenols
• Further chamber experiments on aromatic aldehydes and phenols
• Mass balance for xylene photo-oxidation systems still poor (at best 45%). New experimental approaches using state-of-the-art analytical techniques are needed.
