GENTNER Associate PROFESSOR CHEMICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING YALE UNIVERSITY Abstract: Gas-phase organic compounds (including volatile organic compounds; VOCs) are key precursors to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and tropospheric ozone. Through several bottom-up approaches, we evaluate the evolving role of non-combustion-related emissions in urban air quality, and demonstrate that non-combustion-related sources now contribute a major, but poorly-characterized fraction of SOA and ozone precursors from anthropogenic sources. We present an expanded framework for classifying volatile, intermediate, and semi-volatile emissions from this diverse array of sources that emphasizes a life cycle approach over longer timescales and multiple separate emission pathways. We also perform an extensive untargeted molecular-level intercomparison of SOA from three diverse field sites and an environmental chamber. Despite similar bulk composition, we report large molecular-level variability between multi-hour organic aerosol samples at each site, with 66% of compounds differing between consecutive samples. Through observations and model results, we evaluate the roles of emissions, chemical age, and oxidation conditions in driving this variability, and its potential implications.
