Factors Influencing the Formation of Nitrous Acid from Photolysis of Particulate Nitrate (2023)
Journal Article
Sommariva, R., Alam, M. S., Crilley, L. R., Rooney, D. J., Bloss, W. J., Fomba, K. W., …Carpenter, L. J. (2023). Factors Influencing the Formation of Nitrous Acid from Photolysis of Particulate Nitrate. Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 127(44), 9302–9310. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpca.3c03853

Enhanced photolysis of particulate nitrate (pNO3) to form photolabile species, such as gas-phase nitrous acid (HONO), has been proposed as a potential mechanism to recycle nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the remote boundary layer (“renoxification”). This ar... Read More about Factors Influencing the Formation of Nitrous Acid from Photolysis of Particulate Nitrate.

Extreme Concentrations of Nitric Oxide Control Daytime Oxidation and Quench Nocturnal Oxidation Chemistry in Delhi during Highly Polluted Episodes (2023)
Journal Article
Nelson, B. S., Bryant, D. J., Alam, M. S., Sommariva, R., Bloss, W. J., Newland, M. J., …Hamilton, J. F. (2023). Extreme Concentrations of Nitric Oxide Control Daytime Oxidation and Quench Nocturnal Oxidation Chemistry in Delhi during Highly Polluted Episodes. Environmental Science and Technology Letters, 10(6), 520-527. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.estlett.3c00171

Delhi, India, suffers from periods of very poor air quality, but little is known about the chemical production of secondary pollutants in this highly polluted environment. During the postmonsoon period in 2018, extremely high nighttime concentrations...
